I have DSL installed on a 256mb mp3 player, so all i would have to do is download the package to the lowest level on sda1 and it should work? If you could please clarify this. Also, does anyone know anything about the "Can't execute application : mozilla $url. Check Preferences" error i keep getting? Thanks again.

I can never think of the appropriate terms to use so that it will be clear where to put the myDSL applications. Using the term "root" is often mistaken for "/root" within the filesystem. Then again, using the "tree" terms (top level, bottom level) are also confusing, since some people visualize in reverse order of how others visualise (an upside-down tree, with the root at the top). So, to put it as plainly as I can, the base of the frugal installation is the place where the KNOPPIX and boot directories are when seen from outside of the DSL filesystem (from another OS, for example). From within Frugal, this place can be accessed either through /cdrom (which may be mounted read-only if you're not using the 'frugal' boot option), or from the mountpoint of the partition on which DSL was installed (probably not automatically mounted).

This place has at least a "KNOPPIX" directory and a "boot" directory. Put myDSL packages in this place (not in KNOPPIX or boot) to have them automatically installed. Optionally, create a directory here named "optional" to store packages which you do not want installed automatically, but instead have them show up in the mydsl menu for easy installation later.

The error message related to the aMSN configuration. It apparently is configured to launch mozilla, which does not exist in DSL. I don't use amsn, so i have no idea what file needs to be changed....it could be /home/dsl/.amsn or something similar.
Another thing you could try is creating a symlink to /usr/local/bin/firefox called mozilla. It would need to be somewhere in your PATH.

There is a line in the preferences menu that you can change to call firefox instead of mozilla.

I'm having trouble creating the "optional" programs folder on the CD in WinXP using CDBurnerXP Pro 3. I can create the ISO ok and it boots into DSL, but once I create the "optional" folder on the disk and put a tar file in there the CD will not boot. I tried using ISO level 1 and Joliet but neither worked. I am on my third coaster already. Any help woult be appreciated.
