xmikeox,
Use the My DSL icon on the desktop to find the program you need. When you find it click on the Download button that appears in the window that shows information about that program. After it downloads right click on the desktop to bring up the menu.. Look in the MyDSL entry of the menu and see if you new program is there... it should be. Left click on the new menu entry to start the program. It may be easier then you think.

--------------
======== 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* "

After installing software under dsl you wouldnt get a "thank you" message like running windows , but you may find a new icon on your desktop or a new entry in your menu (rightclick mouse somewhere).
Some programs want to get started by typing their name below in the emelfm comandline or in the xterm
window. If a program doesnt start I would try this , type in its name in the Aterminal , often you may get helpfull errormessages.
I only tried out a DSL live CD on my wifes XP , and it worked fine , me myself would never use any
spyware like XP
