Hi, just joined the Mageia experience and would like to know how to install Moonlight. Can't find it in the add remove progs or even in firefox as an addon. Is there a terminal command I can use or is there a lnk. I have downloaded the RPM for moonlight and opened it with the installer but it still isn't there.

Sorry Jane but I have no experience with Moonlight.

I'm just posting to welcome a old or is that young :D Mandriva friend to Mageia.

Question is, what do you need moonlight for in particular?
Development was stopped in 2012, and it also doesn't support DRM. In some cases it's even easier to get Silverlight running.

Check e.g. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1197

Hi, I wanted to see if I could watch Sky Go on my desktop. Keeps asking for silverlight then transfers me to moonlight page but from there it's a mist. What rpm and how to install it baffles me.

Please also forgive me being thick but what does DRM stand for?
