Caveat emptor, mydsl extensions were never designed for traditional hard drive installations.

Since yours is such, I am guessing that you have mydsl-load commands in /opt/bootlocal.sh?

If so, then add mkdir /tmp/mydsl.installed before any such mydsl-loads.

I have seen this behavior, and I believe this case is similar.
In my case I installed gnucash.tar.gz to a HD install, permanently, and deleted the extension. My bootlocal.sh was empty. And I also got that error on boot about /tmp/mydsl.installed.

I didn't look further, as I had more important matters in mind (ie getting Gnucash to work), and now I don't have that system anymore.

Here's my bootlocal.sh:

Code Sample
#!/bin/bash
# put other system startup command here
/sbin/syslogd
modprobe sb
loadkeys la-latin1


I think nothing there causes the problem. The thing is that all the apps are already in the HD (I work with them normally) and when DSL is loading, it tries to reinstall them but some files are missing (which I never erased). I just wanna stop DSL doing that...

What do you have in /tmp ? Any mdsyl.menu or such?
