This ain't MS - it's easy. well if it's so fucing easy why don't you tell me (not details but big picture) how to do it? "thanks in advance" (I know I won't be hearing from you again, because it's sooo easy, right?) RL

Debian based distros use apt-get as a package manager & .deb files for instalation Red hat (& fedora) use yum as a package manager & the RPM format for packages DSL uses its own form of package management & J G Miller has already given you a link to its documentation page <http://www.damnsmalllinux.ORG/ wiki/index.php/Installing_MyDSL_Extensions> I would suggest that before trying to create an extreme installation ( & squeezing an os into limited hardware is extreme) you might find it beneficial to learn on a more mainstream distro with more up-to date hardware first -- fortune -s linux

Can you please tell me where info on how to install is for DSL? Is it here? Which command here: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/packages.html Where do you put the binary executables (assuming I download something already compiled)? > > I would suggest that before trying to create an extreme installation > ( & squeezing an os into limited hardware is extreme) you might find it > beneficial to learn on a more mainstream distro with more up-to date > hardware first > -- No, please help me with what I have. The pot of gold is always on the other side of the rainbow, I know. Windows is the same way (each new release is progressively better); but the sign of a good OS is if it works now, with what I got. Please help. RL |
