It's in MyDSL.

Follow the instructions in the info file.

Sorry, I'm a DSL-newbe but where can I find this 'info' file ?

For the newest versions of DSL, the info file is the window that pops up with detailed information about the package before you push the download button.

Otherwise, you can go to the myDSL page on the damnsmalllinux.org web site and click on the "info" link that is next to the filename.

Just to clarify:
MyDSL is the DSL extension library. You use it to install MyDSL programs that are known to work easily.

To access this library onto a recent version of MyDSL you simply hit the mydsl icon on the desktop and pick a category and then pick a file.

On older versions you have to browse the MyDSL repository, which can be seen by clicking browse the repository underneath the title of the getting started with DSL page that loads at startup. I believe that to install a package that has been downloaded you browse to it in emelfm and then select it and click the mydsl button. You may have to open emelfm as root to do this by starting bash and typing:

sudo su
emelfm /path/to/file

Note that you do not include the file in the path, you just want emelfm to open the directory where it is so you can select it, it will not work if you send it to the file instead of the directory the file is in.

If you have any other questions let me know. I will post again in a minute with the category and name of the file you are looking for.

OK, from my last post, you are looking for the RealVNC desktop sharing utility in the Network category. Please post any further questions you have
