OK I must be stupid but I can seem to get dsss working.
I have installed DSSS as instructed by dumping the win .zip file and
adding it to my path.
What I want to do is get something (I'm using mango to test things)
downloaded. So I run this:
dsss net install mango
and get a single line of output
Synchronizing...
And I cant find anything that dsss has done. No new file, no mango
anywhere (and no I don't already have mango) Nada. I'm doing something
wrong and don't known what.
Where should the files be showing up?
What response should I be getting?
Am I doing anything right?
BTW
DSSS 0.4 try2 on winXP
