Not much luck after many attempts following instructions on page 206 of DSL book. Are there some assumed steps other than those listed.
Are the tar gz used with dsl extensions already compiled to the correct format, per page 201.
Using DSL3.3.The .tar.gz mydsl extension type is not the typical Linux .tar.gz
What error(s) are you getting?
Note the "\" at the end of long lines in the book is a continuation character to break the line. Don't type it if staying on the same line.Sorry forgot to state 'trying with openoffice-1.1.4.tar.gz and openoffice.tar.gz"Hi RobertS. Will try again with the continuation indicator. The last 't' in Line 2 is on the next line.
If I recall correctly with Line 2 I get something like '/opt/bin no such file or directory".
Also tried skipping line 2 and starting OO from /opt/openoffice.... With 1.1.4 I get error referring to "jre" Java? on opening OO. With 1.1 I get a pop-up (two times) on closing.
Will attempt again today and write down error messages.
Also with Line 2 I entered as root from /home/dsl directory is this correct?.
Thanks for speedy response. Edit: from opt/openoffice-1.1.4/soffice/open.. I get this "javaldx: could not create link of name: /ramdisk/opt/openoffice-1.1.4/program/./user/temp/jave/a which links to /opt/jre1_5_0/bin, symlink error: -1 OO then works okay.
As root: [home/dsl]# tar -ztf openoffice-1.1.4.tar.gz home/ tmp/ opt/bin \ > /tmp/user.list tar (child): openoffice-1.1.4.tar.gz: cannot open: no such file or directory. tar (child): error is not recoverable: exiting now. tar:(child): returned status 2 tar: home: not found in archive. tar: tmp: not found in archive. tar: opt/bin: not found in archive. tar: :not found in archive. tar: error exit delayed from previous errors.
Note: /opt/bin has only "reame text" referring to zile. Note 2: /ramdisk/tmp has a user.list with zero bytes.
Hope this helps.

If you are entering it all on one line, omit the \
