Shalom!
OK, I installed DSL-3.0.1 on my Toshiba Satellite 2540cds -- AMD K6-II/333 with 96MB RAM (soon to be 160MB) and 4.3GB hard drive. Great! JWM is very close to my favorite FVWM95 window manager. All-in-all, some nice features.
However... it ain't an OS without a compiler and tools!! I used apt-get to fetch and install gcc (v2.95, surprisingly; I'd expected v3.3). But after a painstaking configuration of the Linux 2.4.32 kernel, I couldn't compile it, because there's no !@#$% "make" command!!!
OK, I'm smarter than the average bear, so another apt-get install, this time for the missing "make". BEEP... wrong answer. There's a conflict between the version of "chgrp" installed (v5.0) and that of the fileutils package which apt-get wants to install along with 'lil 'ol "make". Sheesh!
Yah, so DSL is based on Knoppix v5... but apt-get doesn't go to any Knoppix repository to download its packages... it heads right for a Debian mirror.
Any suggestions (besides making sure that I apply the Knoppix kernel patch before reconfiguring and compiling)? Perhaps I should just install Knoppix??
TIA!
