hi all, this is my first post here, I just discovered damn small linux.
I have a company where I want to install a modem in each computer and install a dialer, that users can use modem dialer (connected to phone line) and dial from computer.
I have discovered ANT Linux dialer, but when I tried to install with RPM or Source compiling, I cannot, cause seems is not in distribution.
Anyone can tell me how can I install rpm from command line? rpm -Uhv package (but get command not found)

RPM is not supported by Debain. You need to use an app called alien to convert the rpm into a deb. There is an aliendebs.dsl package in the repository under the systems catagory.

Good luck.

Make sure you enable apt from the menu. Once you have done that you can type as root:
Code Sample
dpkg -i <appname>.deb


This will install the package.

Good luck

One last question about DSL.
How can I remove some icons from desktop, I want to leave only Firefox, all the rest to delete.
