I have DSL v0.5 all go on my p133, 32Mb, 1.1 GB hdd system.

I load in and click on the enhance option to get icons and meters up on the screen (is there a way to make this permanent instead of having to do it all the time?).

If i run off the live cd, dillo loads up the default screen (and i presume works just fine, i havent connected the modem yet to test it out).

when i run it from the hdd install, i get a second or 2 of hdd activity and then nothing....:(

also, when i go through the menu options i click on (i think it is) >net>have you got the bandwidth>firebird and it seems to run a script of some sort but then again nothing (this is from the hdd install - i havent tried from the live cd yet).

i have a 64mb swap partition, the rest of the drive being used for DSL.

any ideas?

thanks

That's odd, sounds like something is broken -- did you do anything creative in the install process? I haven't run into those types of problems, maybe try a fresh install and see if everything works?

Yeah I thought it was very strange also. I initially thought it might be a memory problem, but with 32mb ram and a 64mb swap on this distro especially, i would have thought it was fine.

i'll try a re-install, but oh well. another question i have is in relation to booting into dsl. i have on my main box, JAMD linux as my main os and i created a 500Mb partition and installed DSL into it. i think JAMD is using the grub bootloader and i ran mkliloboot, but it has done nothing.

any idea's on how i can add an option to boot DSL into the grub loader, or should this be asked in that forum?

thanks in advance

Hi,

I think I may have had the same problem as you when I did an HD install, dillo would not run. Clicking the desktop icon resulted in a couple of seconds of disk activity, then nothing.

The cause of this problem turned out to be that for some reason during the hd install (I think) the /home/damnsmall/.dillo directory had decided that only the root user should be able to access it.

Try running dillo as root, if that works then you probably just have to change the permissions to your .dillo directory so normal users can access it.

Raj - When you click on the "Got Bandwidth - Firebird" menu selection it does run a script. The script first checks to see if Firebird is installed. If it is not installed it downloads it and installs it. If you don't have an Internet connection up and running it will, of course, fail. Thus the "Got Bandwidth?" question. I don't know if it would work over dial-up. Maybe. If the script detects that Firebird is already installed it just starts it.
If you want to have "Enhance" run at boot up and "Dillo" not run at boot up you need to edit your .xinitrc file. Add enhance and comment out dillo. Make a backup copy of .xinitrc before editing just for safety in case anything goes awry. Copy it and name it something like .xinitrcbackup or something.
