Hi,

I'm trying to install GTK2 and Firefox, but I can't find the MyDSL->Update_to_GTK2 X menu ! I've tried DSL 2.3, 2.4 and 3.0 live CD and also on a 2.3 hard disk install.

Thanks for your help.

It is an extension. Look in the MyDSL repository GTK2 section.

I've installed gtk2 and firefox 1.5 , but now, when i launch firefox 1.5, i get the UTF-8, Unicode Gdk WARNING (that's ok) and then the following errors before a FF crash :

Oops, I hadn't seen the MyDSL line in the right-click menu !

Thanks, it works now.

And is it possible to have Firefox working without doing MyDSL->Update to GTK2 ?

I mean i'm remastering DSL for an project in my company, and I need Firefox 1.5 instead of Firefox 1.0 (that doesn't work with one of our product).

Is is possible to do everything in command line (ie : just extarct a .dsl archive at / and create some symlinks) ? Or is it mandatory to do the MyDSL -> Update to gtk 2 ?
