i tried a install to hardisk. i select enhanced.
all goes well. UNTILL it wgets gnu-utils.dsl. when i tries to untar gnu-utils.dsl it appears to be corrupt.
so i use glinks to d/l gnu-utils.dsl. alter the script to skip the wget.
now the install goes well.

somehow wget does not go well in embeded.

<edit>
some testing shows i only have problem with ftp
http is no problem
apt-get update gets deb-info from http urls. fails on ftp urls
</edit>

Hmm...

I'm gonna have to check my system again.

I thought (yes, I do think sometimes) that it was HTTP that was corrupted but FTP transfers were still working for me.

I am still pretty sure that it was HTTP, though.

This is because the DSL logo picture file on the above mentioned web page gets corrupted and all web site pictures are loading into your web browser via HTTP, I think.

Did you use Glinks to download an "FTP" URL to the gnu-utils.dsk filename, or was it an "HTTP" URL?

gLinks.
from damnsmalllinux download.

ftp://ibibio.org/pub/Linux gives : FTP PORT command failed
http://ibiblio.org : no problem

i dont think this is a dsl problem

Hmm...

I didn't get a command failed error, but my glink downloaded files passed the md5sum while my MyDSL gui files failed the md5sum.

I agree. I don't think that this is a DSL problem. More like a Qemu problem.

Or a "Qemu configuration as it is bundled with DSL" problem.
