I downloaded some myDSL tarball games and themes and I can't find them inorder to load them in DSL. I'm running DSL 3.0.1, straight off my hard drive by running the .bat file. Is there a special place in windows to put these files inorder to find them? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The default myDSL download location is /tmp.

I downloaded them on one computer and then transfered them to another under windows. it is in the same dir as the folder qemu, and KNOPPIX. Will it still be in /tmp?

/tmp is temporary afaik, mounted on ramdisk.

Since you transferred them, it won't matter anyways

Well then how do I get them on the ramdisk??? or how do I use smbtree to see computernames and use smbclient? cause I tried using smbtree, but it asks for a password, and gives me nothing.

There's a guide to smb* on the startup page of dillo afaik.

Why do you need them on your ramdisk? You can load them off your drive or wherever you stored it.

If I can load them off my harddrive, how do I do it? I read the tut on smb, but I'm still having trouble. I need something a little more in depth.
