I accidentaly deleted the dir location which automatically appeared when installing apps through mydsl and I can't seem to get any dir to work when installing. I think it was originally /temp but when I tried that it says to "mount optional media" or something along those lines. Could someone tell me what I need to type in the dir box to install programs ?

I'm trying to install aMSN if that makes any difference

Thanks

It was /tmp but you can save directly to any writeable media if you wish. The latest version of DSL-2.3 allows you to make a directory called /mydsl and save to that. I personally put aMSN in the / directory. You can also make a directory called /optional and save them there if you want to load them manually using the mydsl button in the dsl panel.

Thanks for your reply. You couldnt also tell me how I make directories could you? I've had a look about under different options but I cant figure out how to do it

Thanks a lot

The visual way is to open EmelFM as superuser (right click) and select the mkdir button. then type the name of your directory in the field provided.
