I have been trying to locate apt-get and GCC, but have had no luck.  I tried using "sudo dpkg-restore", but after it finished it said the following:

"dpkg-install.sh
dpkg.tar.bz2
/usr/sbin/dpkg-restore: line 5: dpkg-install.sh: command not found
Updating apt-get
/usr/sbin/dpkg-restore: line 8: apt-get: command not found

Can anyone help me, give me a valid place to get apt-get and a compiler?  I have seen a few other threads talking about some "testing area", but have combed the entire board and can find no trace of a testing area.

BurningBatsu,  You can find the link to the repository on the main dsl page (www.damnsmalllinux.org).  < This > is a link to the repository.  You can download dsl-dpkg.dsl to get dpkg and apt-get.  There is also a dsl file for gcc,g++, and make called gcc1.dsl.  To load them, use the command [mydsl-load dsl-dpkg.dsl[/B], or use emelfm (select the file and hit the mydsl button).

when I use the command you gave me, it replies "mydsl-load: command not found"

EDIT: figured out what was wrong.  The CD I got was off a friend.  It had DSL 0.6 on it -.-

One last question.  How do you find out your IP address (I am running a MUD off my linux box and need to get the IP address, but can not find anything)

Did you try ifconfig from a bash shell.  That should tell you.

Good luck with your MUD.
