Is there a way to add 'make' to the standard DSL 0.6.2?
This is a hard drive install on a ThinkPad 750Cs and I need make to for a .c which will allow my DualScan monitor to work with X.
Thanks

y, just type sudo dpkg-restore, then sudo apt-get install make; if it doesnt work try sudo apt-get install pmake and sudo ln -s /usr/bin/pmake /bin/make

Thanks KidMaster.  I have installed DSL 0.6.3 today and tried what you suggested with disappointing results:

"$ sudo dpkg-restore
Grabbing the compressed dpkg database and programs..
Connecting to damnsmalllinux.org....
dpkg-install.tar   100% |******|  940 KB
dpg-install.sh
dpkg.tar.bz2
/usr/sbin/dpkg-restore: line 6: dpkg-install.sh: command not found
Updating apt-get
/usr/sbin/dpkg-restore: line 8: apt-get: command not found
All Done
$ sudo apt-get install make
sudo: apt-get: command not found
$ sudo apt-get install pmake
sudo: apt-get: command not found
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/pmake /bin/make
$ sudo make
sudo: make: command not found
$sudo pmake
sudo: make: command not found
$

At least some progress was made and I am having fun.
What else can be done to get 'make' going?
Thanks again,

From the menu select Xshells-.Root Access
Run from there. Stop all these sudo's.
Sudo, sudo, sudo, reminds me of a Phil Collins song.
Your problem is a path issue. Should be fine with the root access shell.

Roberts:  
Thanks for your reply.  The root problem here is that I do not have X because this is a ThinkPad 750Cs with the weird DualScan monitor.  I have a .c that is supposed to fix that but I need 'make' to use it.  What can I do to get 'make' going?
