Your best bet for "apt-gets" is to go to a newer computer with a decent amount of (RAM+swap) and boot from livecd.  Then do an Enable APT and then do a test installation into your ramdisk.

If it works OK, you can then repeat the process on your hd installed system.

For those who like the abiword.dsl and want it to spell check I went to/etc/apt/sources.list...opened and changed oldstable to stable..saved..enabled apt and opened a terminal and typed sudo su..then typed apt-get update..then apt-get install aspell...then apt-get libenchant1...my abiword now spell checks..simple
you can go to var/cache/apt/archives and delete the deb files to free space on a small drive or move them to storage so you do not have to redownload. or turn them into a .dsl if you know how
