MYDSL loading issueForum: User Feedback Topic: MYDSL loading issue started by: KB1LQC Posted by KB1LQC on Aug. 26 2006,03:27
OK I got the computer online through my hoome network and DSL was working really really nicely but ran into some issues:1. Everytime I rebooted I needed to download the extensions again 2. Now I cannot load them in, when i download nothing happens after it finishes. Im sure this has come up before but search on the forum didnt seem to bring anything up about it... Thanks!

Anything on the ramdisk is gone after you reboot it - you'll need to save it to another permanent media.See the wiki,mydsl, and/or startup page in dillo for more info. I'm assuming you are using some sort of frugal/livecd environment. Posted by KB1LQC on Aug. 26 2006,12:39
Im using a frugal LILO install to the HD, anyway, he dillo doesnt seem to help, I follow the directins and it still dosnt work? I dont even have a mydsl menu option after I load apps that have been on hre before that I know have that menu option! do I need a full reinstall> i think I download the dpkg but would that mess it up?

If you are on a frugal and things are messing up, just remove your old backup.tar.gz and/or extra packages and start over.Downloading dsl-dpkg.dsl should not mess anything up. Perhaps you had just run out of memory. Posted by underdog5004 on Aug. 26 2006,23:40
What you should do is make a partition on your hd for mydsl or just for data, then mkdir /dev/hda2/mydslwhere hda2 is whatever partition you've got it on. That should do it. Alternately, if you don't want all of your apps to load right at startup, just make a directory titled "mydsl not at startup" or something and store them there. Then you can load them as you wish. -Matthew |
