Has anyone else downloaded firefox lately? Everytime I try to download it says it is complete @ 9.82mb. The download says 9.9. I have get to get any of my download copies to run.

Just curious....

It's my guess that the automated script that makes the pages rounds up..

The actual file size of the firefox.tar.gz is 10295219 bytes
Only emelfm shows the 9.82, which is probably some form of MB , not bytes

I have just downloaded the file via ftp and wget..
Both files pass the md5 check.
How does your md5 compare ??

If you still have troubles...
I'd start looking at owners/permissions of your base DSL files.

I just booted from a clean copy of 0.7.2.
Used the myDSLgui to download the firefox.tar.gz
Icon on desktop, option in menu, runs fine...

Yell if I can help further..

It looks like the problem might be 7.1. I have been using it because I could do HD install. I ran the extensions on the latest version of DSL and they seemed to install without issue.

I am anxiously awaiting the next version of DSL so I can install to HD!!

Thanks

I have rebuilt the tuxpaint.dsl... a nice addition to the repository... thanks.

I found many base directories inside the tar.. They have been removed.
It has also been rebuilt for cross-compatibility with both pre 0.7.1 and 0.7.2+
The entries were overwriting the DSL base ( stock ) directories..

This should decrease the frequency of errors in your HD builds..
