I guess there was a problem with my install disks of Madrake Linux 10, so I downloaded Fedora Core 2, and I successfully installed it. Now I wanted to install some of my other programs, that are linux compatible, so I first downloaded Skype. It is a file called "skype-0.90.0.60-fc2.i386.rpm". I click on it and it says "There is no action associated with "skype-0.90.0.60-fc2.i386.rpm"". Then asks if I want to associate one. I don't know what to do from there.....i hit associate application and under the actions section it has "Program to run:" and when I click on browse I don't know what I am looking for. Any help would be great thanks.
