Hi There,

you need to run "tazpkg recharge" before a "get-install"

Bye & Good luck.

@plumtreed

Open terminal login as root.

[c]wget http://people.slitaz.org/~mojo/stuff/get-dropbox-1.01.tazpkg[/c]

[c]tazpkg install get-dropbox-1.01.tazpkg[/c]

[c]get-dropbox[/c]

........as a matter of interest, the Dropbox 'desktop' icon does not reappear at boot-up but that's OK with me:)
