MyDSL is empty; it's a fresh install of 3.2

I need to install Apache2 and activate apt-get.

Help is appreciated

What do you mean by "empty"?
What kind of installation of 3.2?

Here's some conjectures:
If empty as in you only see white blanks when using the mydsl tool from the desktop,
- make sure you have internet access
- if you have bad connection to that mirror, select another (and/or try using the ftp mirrors)

If for some reason nothing above works, then you could always go to
damnsmalllinux.org > downloads > [mirror] > mydsl
then download and mydsl-load them manually

I mean empty like nothing in it. Blank, white,, zero, zip, nothing.

It seems the network card was suddenly undetected. Tried reinstalling. Didn't help. It works with the Live CD.

That's a thing about linux I don't like. Features that work in one version is gone in the next. App. they don't build on top of existing working versions but begin all over introducing new errors.

Trying the net card config ends in card not detected. However it has been running for months on the former version of DSL.

Can I run a web server from the live cd?

Seems monkey is running on < My Webpage >

It's just I had prev. bad exp. with Monkey as it turned itself off now and then.

Now, how do I get my html pages to be seen in the Live-web server that is running....

Think I got it. Travelled down the path of /ramdisk and placed the file in /opt/.../htdocs and a hard refresh.

The page is in Danish but as a heading with Microsoft XP.
(I am listing the freeware to replace payware).
