myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: Problems with mydsl



Disclaimer: the box I have DSL installed on does not have an internet connection.  Everything I've tried doing is based on the .dsl extensions I have downloaded on this box here.

Okay, that said, I clicked on the .dsl I wanted to install(just so that we're not being totally vague, mplayer.dsl), and then clicked on the 'mydsl' button in emelfm.  However, once I did that, I got the following error:

tar: invalid gzip magic

Same thing would result when I tried typing in mydsl-load in the shell manually.  Just wondering what problem this is and how I can fix it ;)

Thanks!
if you have no net connection this will happen you need the gnu-utils.dsl or an enhanced dsl hd install.......



<<<<Ignore this I was being blonde of course it works from  base system>>>>>>
naah, should work fine, works great for me with no net connection. using emelfm rightclick on the dsl file and click open with, at the prompt type md5sum, press enter, go into the dsl repository, find the dsl in question and click the md5sum link, the 2 should match, if they do not then the file is corrupt and you should redownload.

edit:
welcome to the forums :) :) :)
erm....not being rude but how can you go to the repository without net access....?? :;):
Well I could always check out the md5sum up here, and see if they match ;)

I do wish I had a net connection on the other computer, though, it would make things so much simpler ;)
