The "write-protected" thing may be addressed here: http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....1;t=356

What version of DSL are you using?  0.7.2 has a built-in myDSL installer as part of emelfm.  Otherwise, you might try "sudo tar" instead of just "tar", since you're writing to system directories.

If Samba could be loaded that way, it would be called samba.tar.gz.

There are at least three ways to load a .dsl extension.

1. the myDSL button in emelfm
2. the myDSL desktop icon
3. mydsl-load from the shell prompt as user dsl
