I successfully downloaded the updated Firefox version 1.5.0.6 UCI from the ibiblio repository and mounted it with the MyDSL program off my desktop. It shows up under the MyDSL menu, but when I click it nothing launches. I don't know if it passes the MD5 hash check because I don't know how to do that under DSL. Would someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Did you read the info file? Always read the info file first.
Did you install and enable gtk2.0?

About the md5:
If you installed using the myDSL program on the desktop, and got a menu item and/or icon for the prgram, the md5 succeeded.
If you need to test manually, cd into the directory containing both the extension and the md5 text file and run "md5sum -c whatever.md5.txt"

I read the file info, but searching for GTK2.0 didn't produce much. I tried installing it through apt-get, but there were too many broken dependencies and I gave up. So I'm really not sure what I need to do to get this working, and I'm not finding much help in the forums or wiki. The uci concept has me greatly confused; I understand it's meant to be a separately mountable application system that won't touch the core, but I don't understand how I'm supposed to make it work.
