(1)Desktop>MyDSL>UNC>dsl-dpkg.unc

(2)Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to use a debian mirror near your country/location. Those new to apt-get should do something like Google 'debian mirrors your-country-x' to consult the debian project's list of worldwide mirrors. Use the stable (Sarge) branch. so, your sources.list goes something like e.g.
"deb http://xxx.xxx.com.xx/debian sarge main"

(3) apt-get install xfonts-intl-japanese-big (this seems to be a subset of xfonts-intl-japanese pkg, but seems to work on all the sites I surf (...), and is quite a bit smaller. dial-up users can get this.)

(4)Under firefox, open Preferences>Fonts& Colors>Japanese and change the font from 'jis-fixed-jisx0208-1983-0' to 'misc-fixed-jisx0208-1983-0' because the default doesn't exist. Japanese pages worked fine for me after this.


Enjoy!!

I must be missing something very easy, but...

I followed your instruction with DSL 3.2, and toram boot option on an HP Omnibook 7150.

I installed the dsl-pkg, and tried to install xfonts-intl-japanese-big.

When installing xfonts-intl-japanese-big, I get the following error:

invoke-rc.d: applet not found

Are there any other packages that I have to load before loading this Japanese fonts??

'invoke-rc.d' is in 'coreutils' package. 'gnu-utils.unc' (myDSL>System) also has it.
But I understand apt-get is very troublesome.

There is a japanese.tar.gz with Japanese input coming along. I have finished everything except the uninstallation script (which I am learning how to write). Please wait (I think maybe two more weeks) for it! :laugh:
