Hi all,D
I want to   install some programs from MyDSL but on the wiki they said we need to lag in like a user. But the problem is i can't configure my network interface when i'm not root(prism2). So i can't install any packages. Canwe use MyDSL when we are administrator?

Thanks a lot.

You do not want to run your system as root.

You can easily become root for a task at hand with the sudo command.

All of us have to temporarily become root to configure our wireless cards, whether it be prism2 or something else.

Just becuase you wish to configure a device is not a reason to always run your system as root.

As user dsl use the icon DSLpanel->Prism2
Enter wep key as colon separated pairs.
Or from main menu System->Net Setup->Prism2

Ok, i modify the bootlocal.sh in administrator, now i can connect me with a user account.
When i run MyDSL and when i want to install programs on the HDD, i have the following message :"Non DSL User error".

I don't understand, i'm not administrator.
I try to save in /tmp and in /tmp/MY_NAME
But nothing, everytime the same message.
:p

Any idea?
Thanks a milion.
