HD Install :: MyDSL issue (DSL 4.2.5)

OK. I reluctantly did a traditional hard drive installtion and am able to see the issue.

Thanks for hanging in there with me. Now I can go and fix it for the next release.

I will post later if I can give you the mods needed in exitcheck.sh. Let me test further first.

OK. This seems to do the trick...

In /usr/local/bin/exitcheck.sh currently line 33 reads:

sudo rm -rf /tmp/mydsl.installed

Change this line with the following two lines:

sudo rm -rf /tmp/mydsl.installed/*
sudo rm -rf /tmp/mydsl.menu/*

Done! Thanks roberts and everybody else for the help.

All the more reason to stop supporting hard drive installs. I know DSL works fine like that, but I still think people who want "Debian-like" systems should use something designed for that whether it's Debian or something like DeLi which is less bloated

I know DSL isn't intended for hard drive installs, but I've tried with many other distros and DSL works faster than the rest on my old laptop (I can surf fast on the net, chat and hear mp3s, build my own apps, etc.).

Thx! My strange bootup problem has been fixed!

After applying these settings, I can't see the mydsl programs (abiword, gnumeric,etc).

I assume this option causes the mydsl programs on the menu to disappear.
sudo rm -rf /tmp/mydsl.menu/*

I can't see anything when clicking on mydsl extension tool apps, themes, etc.

I put the original line back and rebooted. I thought that would fix the problem but it didn't.

I tried this:
sudo rm -rf /tmp/mydsl.installed/*
sudo rm -rf /tmp/mydsl.menu/*

and this:
sudo rm -rf /tmp/mydsl.installed

but I still dont see anything after selecting mydsl extension tool.
Of course I used to be able to select themes and apps from the mydsl extension tool.
I hope I'm explaining everything ok. Thx for all your help as usual!
Hmm. the mydsl extension tool apps are back.
I think it might have something to do with my Internet connection.
In order to see the apps in mydsl extension tool does your Internet connection have to be working?
I'm going to post another network/internet connection problem that I'm having in another section. Thx.
