Hi spock,

Tks for your advice.

Whether to run as super root

# dpkg -i apt-get.deb

It did not work here before. Now I got apt-get installed via desktop menu.

# which apt-get
/usr/bin/apt-get

Tks

Is the dpkg that comes with DSL ready to use? I had this problem:

Hi pr0f3550r,

I don't know. But it is there

# which dpkg
/usr/bin/dpkg

Hi there,

sudo dpkg -i works for me, and it should, this is the menu entry in Fluxbox :

[exec] (Enable Apt) {aterm +tr -T "DSL Apt and Dpkg Restore" -e sudo dpkg-restore}

Satimis to enable APT you can also just load the dsl-dpkg.dsl extension, available here :

Sorry from your first post it was not clear to me what you wanted to do.

That's what I meant when I said that dpkg is not ready to use unless you load the extension.
That's what dpkg-restore does:
dsl@box:~$ sudo dpkg-restore
