DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Install Script for Synaptic
Well no joy for me!
Could the fact that I am using a dsl connection through a router affect this? If everyone else have success and I don't then I am the problem, I guess 
From your post it sounds like you are doing things correctly but it still does not work.
In order for the script to work correctly, you must have a good Internet connection up and running.
Can you browse to a web site like www.damnsmalllinux.org using Dillo or Links after you boot up?
Also, does the "Got the Bandwidth" Firefox install script work for you?
Yes it does for both questions. I have a dsl high speed connection that works pretty good. I wonder if the fact that initially i copied your script in txt file under window, then using dsl and scite i retrieve this txt file and rename it as indicated.
May be it is the problem? I doubt but i will try to extract your script using directly from the forum under dsl..we will see if that makes a difference.
cheers.
Did you copy the script dated 2/27/04 and Revision 1?
Maybe you are using an old version of the script. You need Revision 1 if you are using DSL 0.6.x
Please revert back to Revision 0 if you are using DSL 0.5.3 or older.
Good Luck.
ok got it, it worked til the last minute when the system hanged for a while. anyway i will do more testing. maybe the connection was just slow tonight.
i copied your script using scite from this forum and now its good. i guess my initial idea to save the script in a window text file and open it with scite did not work. Or something was missing.
