type:
apt-get install synaptic

Synaptic is good, but surely it wouldn't have sorted out that problem with perl-base?

I also found DSL remove fileutils package from KNOOPIX (though it is a empty package). This makes it difficult to install application which depends on this package, e.g. PHP4. How can I get this empty package (not the package from Debian FTP)?

can someone help a noob understand how to install an app I have on a disk into dsl? I am clueless and this bow is not on the internet yet. I want to install the Linux client version of the folding@home console.

Not sure really what your asking, and you would have been starting a new thread anyway. Installation instructions are on the folding@home website which I guess is where you downloaded the file from. If you need to know how to mount a floppy and copy files across look for a linux tutorial on www.google.com, and maybe buy yourself a book on Linux, there's a whole lotta stuff to learn!
