DSL is based on Knoppix which is, in turn, based on Debian. Debian manages system updates through an easy to use updating system, Apt. Apt is console-based, but for the squeamish, I wrote a fairly easy to understand walkthrough explaining apt as it relates to DSL...
Damn Small Apt Walkthrough, Using Apt with Damn Small Linux (It may be a little outdated with the release of DSL 0.7)
Cbagger suggests the use of Synaptic, a point-n-click graphical front-end for apt. A lot of users new to Linux prefer the GUI to the console. (I'm a command-line dinosaur, guess which way I lean.) It's a solid app and will let you install software without having to learn the handful of commands required to use apt at the console.
cbagger's Synaptic install script (recommended)
Look around the forums/website for information on .dsl packages. There are packages for the GNUtils, Abiword, OpenOffice.org, etc. They're primarily directed for use in creating myDSL liveCD's but they should work for hdinstall users(?/!)

Can you give me some example how to install i.e. Mozilla (if it's possible) onto DSL with apt-get and Inet connection
