Try installing the

ntpdate

package from the Debian repository.  You can get it by enable Apt and then

sudo apt-get install ntpdate

or you can just use Synaptic and choose it from the menu.

There are a couple howto pdf docs at the download site.  There also is a documentation site, click on "Documentation" at the top of the damnsmalllinux.org home page.

The search button kinda works, but the search methods are nonstandard vs. google-like searches.

For example, all searches should be done specified ALL FORUMS and FROM THE BEGINNING or NEWER

and the keyword syntax is OR based instead of AND based.

So if you search for

cat dog

you will get all "cat" posts, all "dog" posts and all "cat dog" posts.  Also, partial wildcard searches must be specified too.

Here is an example of a good keyword search:

cat* AND dog*

This will only find results that contain both "cat" and "dog" but because of the "*", it will also find "cats" and "dogs"

Hope this helps.

cbagger01,

Well said.  I wish your Cat Dog example could be displayed on the search page. I think it would help everyone.


--------------
======== Note =========
The DSL Forum Search default is 'OR'
If you search for "cat dog" you will get all "cat" posts and all "dog" posts.
If you search for "cat AND dog" you will only find results that contain BOTH "cat" and "dog"
Add '*' for wildcards, " cat* and dog* "
