The DSL download mirrors have changed and you'll probably need to set one of the current ones to download extensions.

What is the situation with MyDSL-N Extensions since all the buttons in Extension browser are inactive?

Hello,

I also would like to know what is the current state of this project and what happened to DSL-N project?

I download minimodem_0.19.orig.tar.gz...
from http://www.whence.com/minimodem/
.....
[/home/dsl]# tar zxf minimodem_0.19.orig.tar.gz
[/home/dsl]# cd minimodem-0.19
[/home/dsl/minimodem-0.19]# ./configure

What do I need to do?

DSL won't mount the hard disk on 2 of my systems, which are Fedora Core installations with logical volume management.  Is LVM the problem, and if so is this ever going to be a possibility with DSL?
BTW, I can't see what the benefit of LVM is. It just gets in the way of some things I want to do. Comments?

I have added "dsl lang=be" to the menu.lst and ... it works !

Thanks

So the problem is fixed when you set the keyboard language in xsetup?

In that case, you might want to try adding the "lang=<language>" command to the "kernel" line for DSL in "/boot/grub/menu.lst", as described here (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/cheat_codes.html).

 Hello

I'm using a hard drive install, latest stable version of dsl. I have a be-latin1 keyboard setting, and when I am on the internet with a Firefox-like browser, my @ key (and all other alt gr+keys) wont work. If I just have run xsetup.sh it "does", but after reboot no more. Dillo is the only browser which print it, but I tried to login my yahoo mail with Dillo (I need @ to login), than there is a problem with cookies (that version of Dillo is to old I think, because in the cookiesrc, cookies are enabled with "#default exept". Can anyone tell me what I can do to have another shortcut for @. I allready tried to put echo @ in the jwmkeysrc but it failed (it than writes it into the text part of the system, that you can see with "ctrl+alt+f1").
 
       Thanks

Please forgive me for the time it has taken to get back here. Been busy as heck.

Of course I forgot about the Pi using an ARM processor. Thanks for that. As for the GRUB it is after I select the boot option for DSL. I found a way around it by burning the image to the SD now it acts like a liveCD and I just save the session to a pendrive. Thanks though!

Hi thesaka24,
I wrote a few months ago a text about an USB-wifi-device installation on a DSL-Not powered system, very similar to the DSL OS, except kernel version (2.6.12). Both OS support the "ndiswrapper method", ie using the MicroSoft Windows 32bits Device Driver (W2K/XP).

You will find it at this url:

http://michelterras.perso.sfr.fr/index.html?n=12
then find chapter about :
USB Wifi Device Belkin F5D7050B installation for DSL-Not

if it doesn't work with DSL, i suggest you to try with DSL-NOT, which may support more devices...

Hope it can help!
May DSL & DSL-NOT be with you!
Bye!
