I HAVE gnu-utils already. Should I delete it - then get alsa - and then try gnu-util again?

-I don't know if deleting gnu-utils, installing alsa then gnu-utils will work, but you can try it.  If it works, we'll know of another way to install Alsa.

- If you know how to download the packages manually you can do that.  I have verified that downloading gnu-utils through MyDSL and then downloading alsa.dsl manually works.  There is a great pdf called MyDSLhowto.pdf that explains how to do this, however it's not linked on the dsl website.  It's in the mirror directories where the dsl images are found in a folder called pdfdocs.  If you really want to learn how to use MyDSL, I would suggest that you read that file and learn how to download packages.  This is what DSL is all about and why it's so powerful.

-If you're impatient (like me!) you can reboot the live cd and try it again.  DSL takes about 30 secs to boot for me so it's not a big issue to reboot.

First off, are you booting from the liveCD or the hard drive?  I was suggesting that you try this from the liveCD so you could make sure that it wasn't a problem with something that got messed up before.  If you are running from the liveCD you shouldn't need to delete anything.

It doesn't matter whether you load gnu-utils.dsl first or alsa.dsl first, just so long they are both loaded before you run the alsa setup from the menu (or try what I posted before).

Either.Both.
I cant run alsa yet - since I cant get a good download of it from myDSL without a checksum error.

For me, it does matter because I got the same Checksum error as Phinger.  I don't know why this happens, but it seems like a confirmed issue.  Maybe because I'm using the Live CD.

Anyway, try using the LiveCD to make ALSA work before installing to HDD.
