I know DSL is a Debian based system (Knoppix) but how do we install new packages / applications on DSL?
I've tried with dpkg -i package.deb to .dsl extensions (yes silly I'now), and what about installing the .dsl files?
I am a newbie but could not find links for newbies for such basic things.

2) What are & how do I load these dsl files?
dsl files are collections of files that have been tarred &
gzipped (*.tar.gz) and then renamed *.dsl

to load them:
double click on the emelfm button, and navigate to the file.
Then click on the file and hit the mydsl button
or
type mydsl-load thedslname.dsl
