Is it just me, or does version 6.1 not have apt-get? I remember using 4.5 and 4.7 quite some time ago, and they both had apt-get. I even tried an old copy of 4.10 I had laying around, but, alas, apt-get was nowhere to be found! I did the dpkg-restore thing, and I got that, but it gave the following errors:
I can't download/burn a new version right now... so, can anyone help? This is really weird... Posted by satoshi on June 30 2004,21:04
Nevermind, I found the dpkg-install.sh script in my home directory, ran that, and all's good. Thanks anyway.

I just installed 7.1 on my computer, and I can't seem to figure out how to get apt-get to work. I couldn't find dpkg-install.sh, so I tried following the directions on the website for installing apt-get.I downloaded dpkg.tar.gz and untared it in /var/lib. However, I can't run apt-get update to finish it, because it says that apt-get is not found. Any suggestions? Posted by ke4nt1 on July 04 2004,06:37
Download the dsl-dpkg.dsl from the repository< http://www.ibiblio.org/pub....ex.html > Put it in any partition that DSL can read. ( fat32, ext2, iso9660, etc ) open emelfm find your dsl-dpkg.dsl file, and highlight it click on the mydsl button, and it should install or open a shell type 'mydsl-load' enter full path to location of dsl-dpkg.dsl it should install 73 ke4nt Posted by roberts on July 04 2004,06:47
Maybe it is too easy and you missed it: From the main system menu Apps->Tools->Enable Apt Posted by username on July 04 2004,11:30
Thank you two very much for your help. I got everything running.I never thought to look in tools for enabling apt. I thought that was just for programs like emelFM or cd burning tools. I rand the command line mydsl program, and everything works fine now. |
