Hello! 1st of all thanks for a great distro. I am really diggin it. However. I have a total noob question pertaining to the method of installing new programs... I have DSL installed to the HD on a laptop that has no NIC. So I downloaded the apps from the repository on my windows XP machine, burned them to a disc and am trying to install them into DSL. When I go to the file manager and choose the /cdrom... all that shows in the window below is "/" and I have chosen to display all files including the hidden files. I really am at a loss here. I dont know how to proceed. I am totally new at this and am just learning. BTW...for example one of the apps I am trying to install is Mplayer.dsl . I dont know if this might let you know what Im doing here.
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. and if this has been posted before I do apologize for the repost but I searched and could not find this same problem.
Thanks in advance for your help...
