There are myDSL extensions available at
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/ or other DSL mirror.
These are built specifically for DSL, with dependencies met (unless otherwise stated in the info file) and in most cases documentation, example files, and any other "unnecessary" parts removed.
Installation is covered here
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/talk/node/69
MyDSL extensions should be installed by user 'dsl' only.
If you install the dsl-dpkg myDSL extension you can also install software from debian packages, using "apt-get install package_name" for online files or "dpkg -i package_name" for local files. Installing Synaptic will give you a graphical interface for apt-get.
In some (most?) cases, installing gnu-utils is a requirement for proper deb installation. This will have already been done if you chose the "enhanced" DSL install. If not, gnu-utils can be found in the myDSL repository.
