I had a similar problem. The trick is to load gnu-utils.dsl and dsl-dpkg.dsl first. They can be loaded in any order, but I prefer to load them at boot time using a top-level MyDSL directory on my USB hard drive. Then you open a terminal, type "sudo apt-get update", close the terminal, and load Synaptic.unc For some reason, the .uci versions of dsl-dpkg and gnu-utils doesn't work. Don't quote me on this, but I think you have to manually load Synaptic every time to start the computer. You should not, however, have to repeat the "sudo apt-get update" command unless you are connected to the net and wish to install additional programs. A word of caution though, do not try to upgrade or get rid of libraries or programs provided by MyDSL extensions. All extensions are basically read only. The exception is certain programs that accept plugins, like Firefox. With the GTK2 version of Firefox, it is possible to install Flash, but it will run really slow or not at all. Also, about the unreadable text thing, the same thing happened to me. Using Firefox, I right-clicked on the link and chose "Add link to Download Queue" and it downloaded the files successfully. Hope you make the switch back to DSL. It's been great to me so far.
