Kluber -

This would be an easy .dsl for you to create yourself.

1. Do a clean boot of DSL
2. Use the Firefox browser to search the forum for "deb2dsl"
3. Open Beaver Editor
4. Copy the deb2dsl script to Beaver
5. Save the file as deb2dsl
6. Mke the deb2dsl file executable with "chmod +x deb2dsl"
7. Enable apt and d/l the app you want to install
7. In a console (NOT as root) type ./deb2dsl
8. Follow the prompts and you will have your own .dsl file!
9. Save the file somewhere and reboot to a clean DSL
environment.
10. Open emelfm and locate your .dsl file
11. Highlight the file and click on the mydsl-load button

You should now have a working .dsl application!!

Whenever you make a .dsl file, make sure you are in a clean boot of DSL. The script takes any .debs found in the apt archives and the /home/dsl directories to make the .dsl file.

Good Luck

Chris

Hi Chris,

When downloading deb files, must we use the -d option to download all the debs and not install initially?

I want to try out a postgresql extension......

Thanks

you can do it that way if you like. I would install the app though just to make sure it works properly. So just do a regular apt-get install. After installation all the .debs are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives. The deb2dsl script knows to look there for the files to create the dsl file.

Good Luck
