how do I download things to DSL when I can't get connected to the internet with it
If you have some way of downloading it through windows and then putting it onto the live cd where it will work correctly in DSL, be my guest (live cd is cd-r) |
I'm learning, but I would think that if you download an extension into your root directory in Windows (most likely c:\ ), you could then run it from DSL using
| Code Sample | | dsl mydsl=hda1 |
and using whatever other boot options you need (assuming your laptop HDD is located at /dev/hda1 in Linux)
The MyDSL repository is located at:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/
then you right click on the extension you want and choose your browser's equivalent of "save target as" or "save link as". I recommend reading the .dsl.info files (for warnings, versions or dependencies) and at least downloading the md5sums so you can check them before loading your new extension once you're in DSL (If you need instructions for how to check md5sums please ask, or check the web if you are in a hurry for the answer.

is your friend.)
You may also find some of the following documents useful:

(I'm thinking of the MyDSLhowto.pdf in particular.)

And I hope you get a solution and return to let us know what worked... :o)
Cheers and beers,

I've been told the best way to learn is to explain it to someone else in front of "experts". People who are knowledgable (and sometimes even if they're not!) on a topic will soon tell you if you're wrong, and love you for the opportunity to either show their prowess or make jokes at your expense!
