Must be a traditional hard drive installation.
The MyDSL system was never intended to be use with traditional hard drive installed system.
Instead MyDSL was designed for frugal and live CD based systems.

Nevertheless, MyDSL is being used in such environment. Therefore the clean-up of menus needs to occur.

It is a simple addtional three lines of code to effect this.
As root user (or sudo su) edit the file

/usr/bin/cleanMyDSL.sh

At line 19 it is currently

fi

change it to

Code Sample

else
cp /etc/skel/.jwmmydsl /home/dsl/.jwmmydsl
rm /home/dsl/.fluxbox/mydsl.menu
fi

This should clean and restore the menu(s) in a manner similar to that of frugals and liveCD.

Thank you
Worked as suggested.
It's great to have access to your understanding of DSL.
Can you imagine Bill Gates solving windows user problems in a similar manner.

cleanMyDSL is obsoleted in v4.1. The good news is that traditional hard drive installed is better supported in v4.1 as the issue raised does not occur in 4.1.
