HD Install :: mydsl error

trying to get soundcard going downloading mydsl ext.entions

I goto mydsl-system-gnu-utils.dsl-download & get "non dsl user error". same for other apps.

I am logged in as root.. what gives?

Try it as user dsl.

Most of the time you gotta be root, but sometimes you gotta be dsl. Haven't figured out yet when it's the latter.

You should never install myDSL applications as any user other than dsl, especially not as root. Things can break.

Use root for installing Deb packages or source, but never myDSL.

hmm-well i flashed on logging on as dsl after I posted this & d/l's some stuff but now I don't remember if I installed as root or dsl.

I installed alsa & have a lot of the snd modules loading now but with warnings.

Anyone know how to see the warnings?

this will probably do it:
dmesg | less
