Other Help Topics :: ReMastering HOWTO for DSL

I am at this point in Page 51:

#apt-get update

I am getting a

Code Sample

bash-2.05b# apt-get update
bash: apt-get: command not found

The Net is working fine as I am typing this while in DSL 2.4.

Hi iusebash!

First you have to install dsl-dpkg.dsl as described just above where you are in the HOWTO. That is the package that makes apt-get work. If you are installing emacs just remember that it has to be started from a terminal or the "Run Program" in the DSL-menu.

Have fun and hope it works,

Now I am getting a

Code Sample

bash-2.05b# tar -zxvf dsl-dpkg.dsl -same-owner -C /
tar: invalid option -- a

And prior to the above, I also got this:

Code Sample

cp: reading `/KNOPPIX/usr/lib/libXm.so.2.0.1': Input/output error
cp: reading `/KNOPPIX/usr/lib/liba2ps.so.1': Input/output error

What is the problem?

iusebash, there should be 2 hyphens before "same-owner", not one:

tar -zxvf dsl-dpkg.dsl --same-owner -C /

with only one hyphen, tar think you are entering an s and an a switch.

my problem/solution was displaced here I think...
Sorry for that..
