HD Install :: MyDSL issue (DSL 4.2.5)

Quote

In order to see the apps in mydsl extension tool does your Internet connection have to be working?

Yes, unless you're running your own repository mirror locally and have set that as the URI to look for MyDSL extensions.

You can manually edit your menu (jwm=.jwmrc, fluxbox=~/.fluxbox/menu) for the apps you've installed even if you've deleted the things in /tmp/mydsl.menu.

Yeah, I had to edit the menu. As the apps are installed in your HD, you don't need to use the MyDSL extension tool. The next release will fix this issue:

Change log for v4.3RC1
* Improved removal of mydsl extensions on traditional hard drive installations.

Thanks to all who participated in this thread.
Your persistence is admirable. Because of that, I have mended my DSL HD install.
I have a Toshiba 300CDT laptop which fails to get as far as loading a CLI for other distributions (Ubuntu flavours, Mint, SuSE, etc.) so DSL installed to hard disc is the only way for me to keep this machine running.
Well done!
