There is also the aliendebs.dsl package in the repository,
although I can't say I've used it with dsl 2.0...
As always, read the info file first.

I've been wondering this myself, how do you install rpm's. I've been searching for a java app that was DEB but found nothing, and the instructions they gave were pretty useless, for one I can't install it to a directory that doesn't exsist, so how do I make this directory? Just a lot of questions keep piling up. My question is how do I install a rpm on DSL now that it supports RPM's....

Use ALIEN to convert your RPM file into a DEB file.

Then "Enable APT" from the menu.

Then open a terminal window and type:

sudo su
dpkg -i name_of_file.deb
