Hi again.
Due to the changes in DSL 0.6.x, I needed to make several changes to the .start_synaptic script. The 'ln' command works differently in busybox, so that needed to change. Also, DSL version 0.6+ uses a version of apt that is incompatible with synaptic 0.16, so I added some lines to downgrade the version of apt so that it will work with synaptic (apt version 0.5.4).
The script installation instructions above are still valid.
Here it is:
| Code Sample | #!/bin/sh
#
# .start_synaptic - Checks to see if the Synaptic package manager GUI is
# already installed and starts it up. Otherwise, it
# installs the program.
# Rev 1 2/27/04
# Revised to work with DSL version 0.6.1
# Do not use with DSL versions older than 0.6
# Has this script called itself with the install argument?
while [ "$1" = "install" ]
do
# If the user is running DSL from the KNOPPIX compressed file system, a
# writable version of the read-only system directories must be created.
# Otherwise, it will be impossible to install programs that add new files
# into these directories and subdirectories.
ls -l /usr | grep 'KNOPPIX' > /tmp/startsynaptic.tmp
if test -s '/tmp/startsynaptic.tmp'
then
echo 'System is running from a Live CD compressed image filesystem. '
echo 'Creating a writable /usr tree on the RAM Disk...'
cp -srd /KNOPPIX/usr/ /ramdisk
