Hi Guys

New to Linux and DSL.

I'm also needing help in the respect that I have no net access through DSL (and I am not bothered about net access as of yet). What I any having troubles with is Dependency Hell of .deb packages, and the fact I cannot compile progs like xine or wine or [you get the idea].

My main question is this, then: How do I get DSL into a state where it will compile things nicely after downloading the source of said applications?

I've downloaded the *.deb for gcc, gcc-295, cpp, cpp-295, [and dependencies], but still cannot compile things. Help would be apreciated here.

PS Using DSL 0.6.1, and have dpkg working.
