When I try to use the NetHack MyDSL extension in DSL 1.2, the game quits right when I open it.  I'm booting the embedded version from a 512MB Kingston DataTraveler I flash drive using the USB boot floppy.  It does the same thing on all the computers that I tested it on.  By the way, I checked the MD5 checksums of the tarball on my flash drive and a newly downloaded one, and got the same result.

Working fine for me.

No issues whatsoever.

Believe me. I'd die without my nethack.

Check your md5sum against the nethack.tar.gz.md5 file on the mirrors. I have a feeling that you have a bad download.

Try installing the extension from inside an xterminal window:

cd /to/place/where/extension/is/located
mydsl-load nethack.tar.gz

and see if you get any error messages.

The checksums in both nethack.tar.gz.md5 and the nethack tarball on my flash drive are 5ce53da95c1ce2a53fdf7223918f4c96.

Edit: The same thing also happened with the xboing and xpuyopuyo apps in the MyDSL repository.  Those games worked for me in 1.1, but not 1.2.  I'm going to a computer at my college sometime soon and post the results here while running DSL 1.2.

I finally got those apps to run in DSL 1.2!  The problem was that I have to be root to run NetHack.  Is there any way I can run it as a normal user?
