Ke4nt -

Tried the deb2dsl script you suggested - played around with it a bit, using different editors to copy & paste etc (nano worked best in the end...) and keep getting the same sort of error message. (see below) Similar problem to chris.

Could this be anything to do with the freeciv client version I'm using (freeciv-gtk)? Or is DSL missing some essential bits that need to be added before this will work?? And how could I find out what bits were needed?

Not sure what's happening.  I'm fairly convinced that I've got the script accurate.

error message:

What web brower are you using? Dillo will corrupt the script. You want to make sure you are using Firefox.

hmmm. Nope, it isnt the freeciv-gtk client.  just used apt-get remove to get rid of it, and replaced it with the freeciv-xaw3d version.  Exact same error message. Any ideas?

All the best,

Thanks Chris - that made a big difference!

Some progress to report now!  

I used firefox to copy the script (with nano again - using v 0.9 so no scite) and it worked first time.  Made a freeciv.dsl file - which I copied to the hard-drive (hda3).

Rebooted with 'dsl mydsl-hda3' as the option, but didnt work.  Didnt appear on the menu, and doesnt work from the command line (which afaik is the only way to run freeciv anyway)

Wondering if this is because there are 2 progs here - the server and the client - and both with dependants.  Will try again as 2 .dsl files instead of one...
