Alright, this is my first post, I've searched around the forum for my answer, but no matter what I try I still can't get this to work.  Here's my problem:

I ran DSL for a day or two with just the disc before installing it to the harddrive.  After I installed it to the harddrive I decide to install some more software.  The first thing I get is MPlayer.  I went to myDSL, found Mplayer, clicked, downloaded, and then the desktop item popped up... installed.  Later I try aMSN, I do the exact same process, except when I click download it doesn't do anything.  Eventually I found out about using the Xshell (I believe) to see 'wget whatever the link is'.  I tried it, and it downloaded it, then went and installed with myDSL.  It worked.  Next time I tried to install something it was Mario Bros Clone, I used 'wget' and then tried to install but it just showed up on my 'myDSL' list but wouldn't load anything up.  Can anyone clear up what I'm doing wrong?  Should I just reinstall DSL perhaps?  I think I've described everything well enough.  Or maby I'm just too much of a noob to get it :S.

Thanks for reading and possibly helping!, Desroches.
