I've been reading around here and the wiki, but I'm still a bit lost. I would like to have the Open Office extention to automatically load when DSL starts (rather than loading it manually using the myDSL application). I read that I need to put the extention into the myDSL folder. But, I have no idea where that folder is. I've looked in all the directories.
Also, just to be clear, I need to put the tar.bz file that I downloaded into the myDSL folder?
Thanks for your help.You could - place the command in /opt/bootlocal.sh - use mydsl= bootcode - place the file in / or /mydsl on the same partition as the DSL image.

Still a bit confused. Sorry...slow learner here.
Is that a one-two-three "things to do" list you gave me? Meaning, I, one, open up the bootlocal.sh file; two, type in "mysdsl=bootcode" in said file; and three, place the tar.gz file in the / or /mydsl directory?
For number three in that sequence...I see no /mydsl directory. I see all the regular linux type directories (/KNOPPIX, /dev/, /opt, etc.), but no /mydsl directory. I did a frugal install of DSL, installing the knoppix image on hda1, and using hda3 as a persistant /home and /opt. Which directory in the list of directories when I open up Emelfm is the knoppix image in?
Sorry for being an idiot.Ah sorry, please insert an "either/or" wherever you please :P It's just a choice of what you could use.
1. bootlocal.sh is a startup script, place your mydsl-load command there. 2. Bootcodes / Cheatcodes are entered upon boot. The mydsl= one just changes where (#3) below searches. 3. So your image is on hda1, so you can place it there on [hda1]/ or create [hda1]/mydsl (this is only used for newer DSL versions)
All of this is pretty much fairly documented somewhere - check the wiki, etc. for further readings.Thanks for the clarification, ^thehatsrule^.
I think I'm going to go with option 3.
However, when I try to make a file using CLI, I get a permission denied error. How do I sudo or su in DSL. I don't remember setting a root password or anything.Next Page...
