DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Compilator etc.

IMHO you can delete a mozilla firebird and on this place put something else in this place. In DSL lack a compilators GCC ,a make command and many stuff needed to install programs. I wan't to use a DSL in my workstation but i cant becose i havent many programs, (btw. sorry for my english if i do some mistakes ;) )

Do a search on these forums for information on apt-get, the Debian installer program.
In particular those posts by Grim.

also mozilla firebird (or firefox now) isn't actually on the CD, it's a script that downloads and installs it (temporarily for CD, I believe perminant for hdd install.)

The script doesn't install Firebird on the HD install, but once it's installed, it works just fine. And once you do an HD install, you can simply do a "sudo dpkg-restore" then edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to comment out the line with Stable and uncomment the line that says Testing. Then go "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get install gcc g++ make" That'll give you everything you're wanting.
