The MyDsl doesn't seem to be working. When ever I click grab  this it does the normal thing, and the screen seems to refresh but everything is the same. I looked in /tmp and all the files that I got through the Mydsl GUI are 0kb.

I am using Dsl 0.8.4, LiveCD.

Thank You,

~Me

First , to eliminate any possibility of corruption or bad backup data...

Restart your system from LiveCD, using the this bootup command:

dsl norestore

This will startup your system with no extensions or backups.

Verify you are able to access ibiblio by opening up a browser,
and access the repository.. sometimes ibiblio is frozen or down.
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/

Then give the myDSL a try..  If it works, and it should, great..
Begin to add back in your additional extensions and files.
Start with your backup..
Reboot and bootup with :

dsl restore=hd(xx) = wherever your backup is.

Attempt to use the mydsl again... see if it works..

Do the same thing with your extensions, one at a time.
Until you find a culprit..
( lather, rinse, repeat )

If this is a HDinstall.. well....start from scratch, I guess..  :(
Test myDSLgui at each crossroad before and after installing new items,
until you find an issue..
I'm confident myDSLgui is not broken, so the cause is local ..

Let us know..

The server was up becuase what I did was just go get them manualy with links. I am going to try again with Mydsl GUI on this computer.

Thanks,
