For DSL 0.7 or 0.8 versions:

Download the dsl-dpkg.dsl extension from somewhere and copy it over to your DSL computer:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub....pkg.dsl

Then click on Apps -> Tools -> Emelfm to start up the filemanager.

Highlight the dsl-dpkg.dsl file and click on the "MyDSL" button inside the filemanager. Wait a few seconds until the screen flashes and your extension is now installed.

Then open an xterminal window and type:

sudo su
dpkg -i name_of_your_deb_file.deb
exit

where "name_of_your_deb_file.deb" is replaced with the name of your *.deb package.

Make sure that your deb file is saved in your home directory, ie: /home/dsl/

Good Luck.
