Iam not quite a total nube but this is what I got when I tried:

dsl@box:~$ su root
Password:
root@box:/home/dsl# apt-get install python2.4
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package python2.4
root@box:/home/dsl# apt-get install python2.3
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package python2.3 has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
E: Package python2.3 has no installation candidate
root@box:/home/dsl#

How can I get at least 2.3 <an actual install> with DSL?

I have got it running almost great on a micron 166 laptop with 90 some megs of ram.

You also might have success with switching to the Debian "testing" repository instead of "stable". Stable is the default source for DSL.

Just type:

sudo beaver /etc/apt/sources.list

or

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

if you are a console user.

Then remove the "#" at the start of the line that has "testing" in it and add a "#" at the start of the line that has "stable" in it.

Then save and exit the text editor.

Then:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get python

or

sudo apt-get python2.4

Good Luck.
