Hey, I'm new to being an active DSL user, and I am having trouble understanding the frugal install. Maybe I haven't read enough of the Wiki or help or forums, but I can't figure out how I can install 'feh' (an image viewer) to my frugal installation of DSL permanently.

I am trying to build a digital picture frame out of my old IBM TP 600, and DSL works beautifully on it. I also don't want the internal hard drive or CDROM constantly accessing to keep the noise down. So, my best option is a USB Pen Drive with a frugal install. I know that feh has a great slideshow function that I can use to display the pictures. After installing dsl-dpkg.dsl and apt-getting feh, it works perfectly, but when I reboot, both disappear and I can't load feh at startup like I want to. Does anyone have any ideas on how to permanently add feh to the system?
