User Feedback :: DSL 0.8.0 issues



So if you run toram and have apps in the root of your CD, how do you run those apps from fluxbox menu if there is no myDSL submenu? (besides adding them manually, of course)
If they are in the root, they should be already installed..
No need to "click" to install..

Using my example, I have the dsl-dpkg.dsl and the gnu-utils.dsl in the root.
Once I hit the desktop, apt-get is ready-to-go, and busybox is less prevalent.

If you have firefox.uci, J2re1.4.2, opera.uci, etc..
you should already see icons on your desktop, and java would be available.

Oh...I misunderstood.  I thought when you said "If I run toram, I do not have a 'mydsl' entry in my menu" you meant that the extension menu items were not there either.

I just finished downloading 0.8.0, so I guess I can now see for myself =o)
The new mydsl click and load gui is cool. A nice improvement.

However, on some computer / network / firewall configurations it still suffers from the dreaded "Programs Available" message instead of the list of programs to choose from.

My fix script still works, but can someone add the resulting change to the next DSL version so that it works out of the box?

See this post for details:

Also, the mydsl-load functionality of the gui is broken if you enter a strange value in the "Add Drives" box. For example, I chose a read-only file system (NTFS) with a subdirectory including the "/" character.

This caused the mydsl-load (automatically at the end of the download) to stop working. I was able to solve the problem by reading and understanding the script and deleting the persistent drive storage information by deleting the file called:

/tmp/drives.txt

In the future, could someone add a "Reset Drives" or "Clear Drives" button to the mydsl click and load menu that will delete this file?

Thanks.
Becareful cbaagger01, you might get drafted to ghe DSL team  :;):

And thanks ke4nt1 for  pointing out the nuances with the "toram"/MyDSL thing and also the "Add drives..." in the MyDSL GUI.  I guess it pays to scroll all the way to the bottom.
