Hi,

i am a newbie and still learning. I have installed DSL 0.8 on the Harddrive and it works well. If i update "myDSL" with firefox, it works until reboot. Do i have to install it separatly? If so, which command do i have to use?

I know it might be a stupid question, but can someone post a step-by-step instructiuon.

Thank you very much.
Frischi

I'm having the exact same problem.  I installed DSL to my hard drive.  Opened up myDSL and chose firefox.uci and everything worked fine till I rebooted.  The icon is still there but clicking it does nothing.  Any help is appreciated.

[edit] I did search around here and I'm fairly sure it has something to do with mounting the .uci file but I was unable to glean a proper method for automating these mounts when I boot up.

Here is one way:

1) Open up emelfm.

2) Find the *.uci file and select (single-click) it.

3) Click on the myDSL button inside emelfm window.

4) Exit emelfm

Thanks for the reply cbagger01.  I figured out how to mount the .uci files manually each time, but what I was hoping for were instructions on getting them to mount on their own when I boot (i.e. so I don't have to do anything).

I think I found another way though since I went back to myDSL and downloaded firefox-0.9.3.dsl after adding hda2 in the "add hard drives section" at the bottom, and downloaded it.  After restarting it seemed to load firefox automatically.  I don't know if that's better than the .uci though.

if you want it to start automaticlly add either one of these (not sure the executable name)

firefox &

or

mozilla-firefox &

to your /home/[username i.e. dsl]/.xinitrc file just before the line for fluxbox (or enlightenment )
