I'm running DSL 4.2.5 on an old laptop (HD install) and I added some apps such as amsn.dsl, gcc.dsl, gimp-1.2.dsl and more (all .dsl extension). They work normally but, while DSL is booting (just before the bootlocal.sh commands), the following appears:
cannot open /tmp/mydsl.installed/amsn.dsl: File doen't exist
cannot open /tmp/mydsl.installed/gimp-1.2.dsl: File doesn't exist
... and so on (with all the apps I added).
It's really annoying because it takes like 20 seconds
Anyone can help me with this issue?
The apps work fine, I think it's just a mydsl problem
Thanks

I've never used a HD install, where I assume extensions are permanently installed. The tmp folder is used for extensions that are not, such as with a frugal install, live CD, etc.  Perhaps that is why those files  don't exist??

Yeah, but why is DSL trying to open them?
Never happened this with HD installs of DSL 3.4...

I think there was a change in using the tmp folder for extension menus, etc., with 4.x.  Just ignore error messages that don't apply to your setup.

The bootlocal.sh script is for frugal installs, not hard drive. Your settings and extensions are persistent in a hard drive installation. You can safely remove the dsl extensions because they've already been written to disk.
