Apt-get :: debian packages

Ok! lets see if I understand this right? dsl was built from knoppix, knoppix was built from debian. The makers modified the deb pkgs to run on knoppix, then the makers of dsl changed the knoppix programs to run on dsl. is that right so for. but dsl will still run debian pkgs I hope? I still have a lot of room on my harddrive and I ordered a 40 gig hardrive to replace this one. Can I point it to knoppix or the debian ftp site and get to upgrade programs from there. or download and install new ones. If that is correct so for. Does anyone know the correct address of the packages for my kernal/gcc version 2.4.26/2.95.4.
It is going to take awhile for me to learn how to make uci extensions and about a month untill I can buy the dsl 2.1 book so untill then I need to learn as much as I can from here.

load dsl-dpkg.dsl and then u can apt-get.
After u downloaded and tested the packages u can make a .dsl launching the script deb2dsl that is in the gnu-utils.dsl.
Just type deb2dsl and your debs that are in /home/dsl and in /var/cache/apt/archives will be putted in the new .dsl

Thanks

hey
any DSL application works fine!
but i have problem with any application from apt-get
under apt-get install <name>, i always have the same errors.
something like, the script is unable to update/remove e2fsprogs and telling me something about what to do.
i need to do APT::Force-LoopBreak
how can i do it or maybe is there any better way to fix it?
i would like to install APT apps

sp33dster got further than I did. I never got the url to send apt to. all the urls in apt ended in dsl which is fine for te dsl pkgs but when I went looking for deb pkgs on there site all I found were the iso's. maybe I just do not know enough about it or I am missing something but dont I need the seperate pkgs or something. or can I just use the iso's.
