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:

Quote

/usr/sbin/dpkg-restore: line 6: dpkg-install.sh: command not found
Updating apt-get
/usr/sbin/dpkg-restore: line 8: apt-get: command not found

I can't download/burn a new version right now... so, can anyone help? This is really weird...

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?

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
