HD Install :: MyDSL issue (DSL 4.2.5)



Lucky13, it's not because of that. It seems to be a bug in one of the bootscripts, not taking HD-install into account (as it can have extensions installed but deleted)

I agree with that. I've been trying to find which bootsript is causing the problem in order to edit it... but no results so far...

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. Between the xfs/jfs/hfs(+) issues I had with the hotplug script and this kind of thing, it only reinforces the point that DSL should be either nomadic or "normal" and not try to cover every base.
The directory that you are writing about /tmp/mydsl.installed is normally deleted upon shutdown called from exitcheck.sh.

Therefore if extensions were once used and then later deleted there should be no more references to /tmp/mydsl.installed.

With a frugal or live CD the entire /tmp is on ramdisk and so it is gone upon shutdown.

I would suggest to check that you are running the exit program.

Otherwise manually delete that temporary directory /tmp/mydsl.installed.

/tmp/mydsl.installed doesn't exist and I always used the exit program

The problem is that when DSL is loading, some script is trying to open those /tmp/mydsl.installed/...
