User Feedback :: DSL works, but I don't want to be updated...

Hi,
since I've installed DSL on my harddisk (topic), I'm quite happy with it, because it easily works on my old Computer, I think it is even better than Win98SE.
But I've got one problem: DSL doesn't know the command "apt-get", so I cannot update the system or install new software...
Do you know a solution for this problem?

Get dsl-dpkg.dsl, and probably gnu-utils.dsl whilst you're at it, from the redpository:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....m

where shall I put these extensions?

Hi,

dsl do know apt-get, but it's called synaptic and it is in the menu (mydsl). You have to enable apt first, then install synaptic and enjoy.

Restriction: dsl is as knoppix a debian-like distro; all debian progs won't install in it; and dsl is small = less libraries than other bigger debian distros; so you won't be able to install all you want.

Advice: in order to update dsl, you have to use the dsl upgrade utility, also in the menu mydsl.

I just had to change the mirror and activate apt-get, now it works finde ;)
But can you tell me, how I can choose another server for the packages?
I've installed GAIM with Synaptic, but the version is 0.58, but I want to use the actual version...
