:) See slax docs for installing modules.
http://www.slax.org/documentation_use_modules.php
That is the method that I used. slax took care of the rest.

I'm not terribly familiar with slax. I've used mostly ubuntu and
slackware in the past. FYI, there was no python 2.5 binary on the
system as out-of-the box. *But* there was a python2.5 path - to be
safe, I removed python 2.7 and put 2.5 on.
Along with setting the PYTHONPATH variable - I've got django
importing now.

FYI: This is just a temporary setup for my netbook, which I'm
going to take along on vacation. I intend to "tutor" myself on
this setup while gone.

My main workstation is ubuntu 10.04 and no problems there.
That is where my actual development (should I choose to adapt
django to my development business) will take place.

Thanks Mike and also thanks to Shawn. I'll putter with this a
while to make sure that I have something working to take with me.
