you'll want to install the dsl-dpkg.dsl extension, and maybe gnu-utils (not sure about that one).
Then go to where you download your deb files and do this command:
sudo dpkg -i name_of_file.deb
Can't say that'll work for everything...SDL-dev may need additional support files.
You could also try apt-get instead of dpkg (I think they are both in the same package?), which many people prefer...i can't verify either one personally, but i always like to have archives saved for future use rather than just download and run from a temp directory.

DSL Market ,
Great VPS hosting provided by Tektonic
I only booted linux for the first time a few months ago because I was put on a programming project that my boss wants done in Linux! Great opportunity to learn linux. And man have I learned a crapload.. DSL is the best distribution I think... I've tried many. VNC works great with it too.. I dev on my linux box 100% via vnc from my windows box. There's no latency over the local network whatsoever!
