If you are using a frugal install, live cd, etc. than you can download it from here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/uci/

Check the md5sum. Then open emelfm, navigate to the file, click on it to select it and click the mydsl button in the upper middle of the screen. It will than be mounted and accessible from under the mydsl portion of the menu that appears when you right click the desktop. Since this is a .uci extension it can also be unmounted in a similar manner.

If you are using a classic hd install, you should probably use apt to get it.

Will Open Office 1.9 (2.0) work with DSL? How about via WINE?

I have it installed (Open Office) - on a win 98 machine - that dual boots with Ubuntu... however Ubuntu is fairly slow on this machine.
(500 mHz) - and has some display issues (laptop - sometimes the external monitor goes blank). DSL is much faster (especially when toram is used -- zoom!

)

Open Office is installed on both Ubuntu and W98... the Ubuntu version is snappier in response time - but has the display issues... W98 has too many halt/hangs...

Open Office works well with dsl. It does require quite a bit of ram, but I am guessing you have enough since you have run it on this system under other os's. Wine wont be needed to run it. Depending on your installation type you can either use the extension at the link above or you can use apt-get to download it.

System is a 500mhz AMD.. 196 MB... HP Laptop

I got Open Office 1.x to install fine (on another machine) .. but I'd rather use 2.0 -
Impress works much better ... can I get that from Debian?

(I used the My DSL icon to install it.. and audacity .... and.... and..

Very cool...

on another topic - I used the system backup.... but it didn't appear to do any thing

TIA....TM
