To install .deb
dpkg -i xxx.deb

make sure that you've read Getting Start on DSL cd.

I can't after downloading DSL 0.7 and the GNU utils extention

I get this on bash

root@ttyp1[damnsmall]# dpkg -i gaim_0.77-1_i386.deb
dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: No such file or directory
root@ttyp1[damnsmall]#

As root type "dpkg-restore" without quote
to download dpkg util
