I installed Opera.uci from MyDSL and it worked ok. When I turned my PC off and back on several hours later Opera would not start.

Anyone else experienced this problem? Is there some secret to installing .uci files that I don't know about?

Thanks,

the .uci files need to be "mounted" , like hard drives and other partitioned devices.
( the .uci creates a new filesystem )

So, after you download it, save it somewhere you can get to
AFTER your reboot, then using emelfm, highlight the file and
click the "mydsl" button.. your back in business..

It does not install like "tar.gz's" or "dsl's" do..
It mounts...

If you wish, try the opera.tar.gz for an installed copy.
It's exactly the same version, it's just not the ram saver
that the .uci copy is.

Have you tried placing it in a directory called "/optional"
off your top level directory ?
Then it should automount..

That's in the CD. Not everyone is going to know how to do that.
Anyway, I place the little applications such as dock apps in the root
of the CD, and the big applications such as abiword, Mozilla Firefox
Opera 6.12 and Gimp 1.2 in /optional
Then, none of the big apps will automatically load. I have to use the MyDSL
Click and Load GUI, or (in a root rxvt) emelfm to load them.
The little dock apps load on bootup, I don't need to do anything but
start them via the Menu:

Code Sample

[submenu] (Desktop) {}
[submenu] (Dock Apps) {}
[exec] (Clock - Date) {/usr/bin/wmclock}
[exec] (Calculator) {/usr/bin/wmcalc}
[exec] (Dialup) {/usr/bin/wmppp}
[exec] (Moonclock) {/usr/X11R6/bin/wmMoonClock -lat 30.15 -lon 96.4 -bc tan -lc black -dc red}
[exec] (Pinboard) {/usr/bin/wmpinboard -w}
[exec] (Weather - On) {/usr/bin/wmweather+ -c /home/dsl/weather.cfg}
[exec] (Weather - Off) {killall wmweather+}
[exec] (Memory) {asmem -withdrawn -bg black -fg white}
[exec] (CPU Load) {wmcpuload}
[exec] (Mount) {mount.app}
[exec] (Audio) {wmix}
[exec] (Network) {wmnet -w}
[exec] (Close All) {/home/dsl/dockappclose}
[end]
[exec] (Full Enhanced Desktop) {enhance &>/dev/null}
[exec] (Icons Only) {xtdesk}
[exec] (No Icons) {killall -9 xtdesk}
[config] (Configuration)
[submenu] (Styles) {}
[stylesdir] (/usr/share/fluxbox/styles)
[stylesdir] (~/.fluxbox/styles)
[end]

This is a modified menu, if you add something like this to your fluxbox menu,
be sure and have an entry in your filetool.lst to save it to your backup/restore file:

Code Sample

home/dsl/.fluxbox

The little file that closes all the dock apps, shown in the menu sample above, is
given here:

Code Sample

#!/bin/bash
#
# dockappclose, version 0.1
# file location, /home/dsl/.fluxbox/dockappclose
# Close all open Dock Apps.
# For Rapidweather Remaster of DSL Linux.
# Accessed via menu item:
# Menu - > Apps - > Dock Apps - > Close All.
# kill any of these, open or not.
killall wmcpuload >/dev/null 2>&1
killall asmem >/dev/null 2>&1
killall mount.app >/dev/null 2>&1
killall wmclock >/dev/null 2>&1
killall wmMoonClock >/dev/null 2>&1
killall wmppp >/dev/null 2>&1
killall wmpinboard >/dev/null 2>&1
killall wmnet >/dev/null 2>&1
killall wmix >/dev/null 2>&1
killall wmweather+ >/dev/null 2>&1
killall wmcalc >/dev/null 2>&1
# now that all Dock Apps are closed, print this:
echo " All Dock Apps have been closed ."
# end dockappclose
exit 0

I've used it for a while, and it helps when opening just the dock apps I want
rather than the default "enhance ones".
