If you've got dsl-dpkg.dsl and probably gnu-utils.dsl
loaded, *and any depends the package may need*,
then you can cd to where you left the
package, and dpkg -i <packagename>.deb
which will hopefully install your new package.
Check the manpage for dpkg for other uses of the
command, like listing depends, status, etc.
