Xfoil is a wonderful program that is a standard areonautics tool. This is no toy, it's a world class highly respected research and engineering program.

Could Xfoil be included in MyDSL?

If not could somone help with a click-by-click, key-by-key example of how to install the program in the usual linux way?

If you have a regular hd install, after you choose "Enable APT" from the menu, download this file:

http://lpnotfr.free.fr/debian/xfoil_6.94-2_i386.deb

Then open a terminal window and type:

sudo su
dpkg -i xfoil_6.94-2_i386.deb

It may be possible to build a mydsl extension with the deb2dsl script.  I have not used this program, so I don't know if it will work.

My DSL is booting on a pen drive.  I'll try getting the Xfoil ref you gave going on my "big" linux machine though. Thanks.

Eventually I'll learn how to make my own Xfoil.dsl .... but I'm a slow learner so....


Anyway I did try the commands with my pendrive system system.

after the sudo su command i changed to directory /home/dsl and ls showed that the xfoil_9,94-2_i386.deb file was in  the directory but after issuing the dpkg -i xfoil_... command there was a warning "cannot access archive: file or directory does not exist"
