One of the things which caught my eye right away was that DSL could be set up as a Debian installation.  So I installed DSL to the harddrive, and followed the directions for getting GNU/Debian compatibility set up.

(Forgive me, I am away from the computer which is giving me problems, so this is all from memory...)

First, select "Upgrade to GNU Tools".  Downloading the 10 MB file.  Great.  Downloaded.  No problems.  

Next, select "Enable APT".  Downloading some other file.  Connected fine.  Downloaded the whole file.  

"Download Error."

And that's all she wrote.  I have no idea what went wrong.  Did it a second time.  Same story.

I was hoping that perhaps someone has encountered this problem (Oh wait, do I have to be logged in as root?), or perhaps one of you Linux gurus (which I am massively NOT) can point me to some log file somewhere which might indicate to me what the hell went wrong...

Thanks all,
Jerramy

Are you behind a proxy server?
Anyway, try to set a different mirror, for example switch to ftp rather than http. It looks like a connection rather than software problem.
Or use wget.

Dur...

Not to sound like a complete moron, but "I just pushed the dern buttony thingy, I didn't see any such option..."

I assume that the button links to a script. (Okay, I know I'm now getting into a whole 'nuther topic, but..) Where do I find the links that given buttons point to, or (Ooo Ooo!) how do I completely change the menu to say and point to whatever the hell I want?

I know this falls under RTFM, but I'm a complete newbie when it comes to X GUI management.

Thanks.

You can manually download it using Firefox, Dillo, or wget from this link:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....pkg.dsl

After saving the file, open emelfm, highlight the file and push the MYDSL button inside emelfm window.
