I'm not trying to install anything. Just get dsss so that it will do 
anything at all.

What I have done is:

1. download the .zip file
2. copy it to the harddrive
3. add dsss's path to $PATH
4. run "dsss install --prefix=f:\arlt\src" from the command line

this last bit comes from the v0.2 thread:

I assume that all this does is setup dsss for where to put things and 
the next thing would be some sort of "dsss net..." command, but I 
haven't got that far yet.

Am I supposed to tell it to get something in step 4?
Am I missing something else?
