installed my usb well everything is working. my broadcom networkadapter isnt detected in the beginning but i load it with the boot.sh file. well i downloaded the installer for firefox 1.0pre but i cant use it because there is a lib missing. so i was looking in the reposytory but there is only the old 0.9.x version. did somebody knows howto install 1.0 ?
openoffice is okay for me in the version of 1.1. from the reposytory but how can i install it fix on my usb stick. after loading the dsl file with mydsl-load i have to do what?
i ve a ipw2100 adapater and the firmware is missing. i was on the projects sites to download the firmware. but wich version do i need? and where to put it that the autodetecter can find it. also then howto backup it that the usb dsl finds it after a reboot.
thx so on for helpI'll adress the "backup"-question..
You should edit the home/dsl/filetool.lst list. (in this list are those maps/files that need to be backuped, configuration-changes.. added applications, ect..)
An example of my filetool.lst: ************************************* opt/ppp opt/bootlocal.sh opt/powerdown.sh home/dsl/filetool.lst home/dsl/.fluxbox home/dsl/.fluxbox/styles home/dsl/.fluxbox/backgrounds home/dsl/.xtdesktop home/dsl/.xinitrc home/dsl/.xserverrc home/dsl/.emelfm home/dsl/.mplayer home/dsl/.xine home/dsl/.xmms home/dsl/.sylpheed home/dsl/Mail opt/.firefox_plugins home/dsl/.bash_profile ramdisk/opt/fluxbox-0.9.9 etc/X11/fluxbox home/dsl/.mozilla home/dsl/.bashrc home/dsl/dist home/dsl/.amsn home/dsl/.axyftp home/dsl/GNUstep home/dsl/.wmbiffrc /usr/bin/wmbiff **************************************** mozilla--> firefox configuration/changes opt/firefox_plugins --> plugins added by me
Further more: You need to backup your changes (that work!) with: DSL-panel --> backup/restore --> (i backup to sda1/my usb-stick)
I still use firefox 0.9.3 because it is smaller (than Firefox 1) and is stable. (firefox 1 that you want to use is still a BETA i think?)
Your backup (configuration changes) will be on /cdrom/backup.tar.gz, mine is now about 11 Mb. (/cdrom is the spot where your usb-drive will be mounted)i think i understand now the logic behind the restore and backup thing. so when it add the /opt/firefox dir in the filetool.lst i will copy the files from that dir to backup.tar.gz on my usb stick is that right?
thx for helpso tryed to do this with openoffice.
i ve done:
Code Sample
mydsl-load openoffice.dsl
and then i edited the filetool.lst and added /opt/openoffice
but now everything its very slow during the backup, becaus he copy everytime the hole openoffice. is there now other possibility? is it very bad to put the dsl file on the stick an add in the boot.sh file a mydsl-load command and to backup only the settings?
greetsPatrick:
Just a suggestion ... looking at your filetool.lst, I see you have
Since we're discussing backups here, I'm assuming LiveCD or poorman's install ..
I only backup the ~/.fluxbox/styles and the ~/.fluxbox/backgrounds
I keep all the themes from the repository in those 2 directories.
If I backup the ~/.fluxbox directory, I get the issue where additions to the menu are in the menu for which I haven't loaded the extensions yet..
Also, having the ~/.fluxbox directory in your filetool.lst, your backing up your /styles and /backgrounds TWICE , since having ~/.fluxbox backs up EVERYTHING in and under that location.
You also have ~/.xtdesktop in your filetool.lst This will cause icons for apps to appear on your desktop BEFORE the extension is loaded. And/or if your autoinstalling them at boottime, by having them in the root of the CD, your overwriting the icons , so no need to have them in the backup.
