How you can install apt-get in my DSL?

Look for dsl-dpkg. That's the one that installs apt-get. I think it's in SYSTEM in the myDSL control panel on the desktop.

Wine: You have to type in "apt-get install wine" (without the .deb)! More circuitous: You also can try to download the wine package from http://packages.debian.org/ and install it with dpkg (myDSL: dsl-dpkg.dsl). Do the same with the dependent packages first (two of them have to be fetched by apt-get because they depent on each other, I think)!

*.dsl: Either use MyDSL (icon on the Desktop) or use the "MyDSL" button in emelFM, when you already have downloaded the file.

If anyone wants a good overview of the whole apt system I suggest reading the APT howto.

This guide is written for debian, but almost all of it is applicable to a hdinstall of DSL with apt re-enabled.
