Hi!

I'm running DSL 1.0.1 hd-installed and have downloaded the PHP myDSL extension using the MyDSL desktop app.
Basically php is working on the system, but
1) Is the GD or GD2 graphics lib included in the package?
2) Where is php.ini ? I think there is an entry to enable GD somewhere in the ini with standard PHP installations, but I can't find the ini file. phpinfo() says it is in /opt/php/lib but there's only another subfolder /php/.
3) If  1) && ! 2)  where do I have to enable GD, or what else do  have to do/did I miss?
If !( 1) && 2) ) I guess I'd have to install GD manually. Has anyone made his or her experience with GD on DSL before?

I cannot use ImageMagick btw. !

Thanks.

OK - answer to 1) is: it doesn't !

After apt-getting the whole day, fiddling around with PHP and Monkey (should be simple according to the Monkey website, but isn't or me is too dumb  ) , I'll try to install that neat and complete XAMPP. Will report later on progress and whether this is eating up my precious resources (RAM and CPU power).
