myDSL auto-loading works on .dsl only.
You can make it to .dsl by using command deb2dsl, after apt-get it from Debian website.

ok, I have got the .dsl package, but I don't understand really where that I have to put the file.

I did an usb-hdd install from the live cd. So I guess that it is a frugal install.

The DSL image partition is the /KNOPPIX directory on the usb stick? Or is there another one? Cause I tried to copy it to the /KNOPPIX directory, but that is read-only...

Given we are talking about a usb-hdd pendrive install..

Typically when you download extensions they are in the /tmp directory.
To save extensions, be it .dsl .uci or .tar.gz,
as user root copy them to /cdrom
/cdrom is just the mount point of the pendrive, which is typically /dev/sda1
You can use emelfm as super-user and drag and drop them to /cdrom or you can open an xterm as root and cp them.

Once copied to this location then upon next boot up they will appear loaded and ready to go.

There are other options but this is the easiest for this type of install.
