Hi there,
I hope this is the right location for these questions.

Having completed the HD install of DSL on my Toshiba Portege 7010CT with docking station, I have a couple of questions.

1. Once installed to HD, how do I use/install DSL extensions.? I have setup the DPKG and Apt-Get no problem, but I don't understand the use of DSL files..?

2. How do I get my PC making sound again.? Do I need to download ALSA.. or something similar..??

The main Install went with no problems, and I easilly found info on setting up the Swap usage etc.. But on the above two questions I am completely stuck..

Please help.
Mick

1) it is suggested not ti use .dsl for hd install, better to apt-get the application.
there is no uninstaller for .dsl.
.dsl are application that u double click form emelfm and they are installed or using the mydsl icon in the desktop or issuing the mydks-load command.
2)I f the sound card was functioning with the live cd it shoul work also on hd install

Many thanks for the help. everything now working great, found the postings on sound and Toshiba Laptops. Solved problem.

Thanks for the advice on the DSL files..

My laptop is running like a dream now compared to XP that it had before.
