Having some problems with my HD, now I have decided to install DSL in the HD, and it have worked just fine (suse freeze in installation... I guess it touche the bad sectors of the disk), anyway...
Im not familiar with this type of distributions like I know is based on debian and knoppix, hey, I have been using rpm and similar... dont know this side of the coin if there is redcarpet for install mono and things like that...
In fact, I have already installed it on HD, then go to apps>tools> Enable Apt, it have done things that I dont know... lol, after that I have put apps>tools>synaptic and have sayed that it have downgraded apt-get, then in synaptic I clicked upgrade system, it have marked 5 items, after that one related with ACPI or PCMIPCMA or something like that, then the upgrade isn't complete because in the console fail to install this last one update and future "upgrade system" dosent work and say error returned (1)... and then I have reinstalled again from the CD to HD:) ....
That is why I need a first steps in this, for tune the system for easy expansion what things should I install, like for example what mean to upgrade to GNU utils or enable APT??, here my questions that I will like listen more an answer:
1) How to configure kb because the diferent variations of "es" in the system>keyboard havent worked for get the normal acent that I use canci'on, 'arbol... or the braces in the correct place... [][]'''''] displayed when presing "ALT GR", Im from M´exico... or I need set kb and reboot for see the changes??? (aparently now that I have reboot the system I see a change in the kb config). (partially answered).
2) How to use Apt and Synaptic in parallel (my actual impression is that they are exclusive?... why synaptic have downgraded apt-get???).
3) How to install a rpm file, in fact I whant to install eagle http://www.cadsoft.de/ because when I do rpm -i eagle-lin-eng-4.16r1-1.i586.rpm it say something like "rpm: Invalid gzip magic".
4) Tought when running the Live-CD the system>mount tool have displayed the item for mount the cdrom, now when it is installed in the HD it only display the partitions of the hd0... I need to mount doing in console "mount /dev/cdrom" and unmounting doing "sudo umount /dev/cdrom", how to put in the application like when in the Live-CD, for only click 1 button?
5) Listening some mp3 of a disc, I see that the sound is of not good quality, then I think I must install something for sound OK???, in what order and what?
6) Being a somewhat noob programmer, I see that I can install gcc, but what about mono? kdevelop and dont know what other IDEs?
7) I have a nvidia card, where to put for download the drivers (ok, I can continue searching the menus, but if you have the point  ).
8) If in myDSL I download the files instead of /tmp to /dsl/mydwldsApps... I see then with .dsl extension... then not rpm or even deb file, how I install them???... and is posible I donwload OO in rpm and install it doing rpm -Uvih *rpm (iirc).
9) In the anterior time, I have tryied install amsn, but havent worked, then I see that I need install FLTK, then I install it, but didn't work, how to install: amsn, geda suite (even from the CD distributed at the page) or from Synaptic.
I think all this is what I whant to know for continue using this distro.
