Just saw you were running dsl-n... I think there was some different setup with it - check the "old" dsl-n forums maybe.

Seems like the solution is to copy files from another linux distri (I have none):
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/dsl-n....=aptget
I probably will have to install DSL now that I read this.

I thought the only difference between DSL and DSL-N is that the latter includes more programs and hence is bigger?

UPDATE:
?!$#! :angry:

I tried to copy the files from the DSL cd, but couldn't get it mounted so I just installed DSL on my hdd, just to realize that it wouldn't recognize my usb keyboard.
So back to installing dsl-n and trying to ftp the files over to the box.

See http://damnsmalllinux.org/dsl-n/ for some main differences.

I found the solution

I followed these steps:
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/dsl-n....=aptget
(I booted a second machine on dsl and copied the files over
except for /usr/sbin/dpkg-restore which doesn't exist.
Instead I downloaded dsl-dpkg.dsl
from here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....m
and installed it. I also skipped the step that says:
do:
dpkg-restore
Other than that I followed it to the letter and this got apt-get working.

Now I am struggling with Apache2, sigh. I guess I will go and buy a book now :cool:

There's an apache2 package extension in mydsl that you could try... but keep in mind that it was made for dsl.

Mods: if it matters, i think this thread should be moved to the dsl-n section.
