I get the folowing errorwhen I try to add a .deb package with dpkg:

root@box~# dpkg -i beep_1.2.1-1_i386.deb
dpkg: /var/lib/dpkg/status: No such file or directory

You need to use dpkg-restore from the menu. This will load up the Debian files and programs.

looks like I got it working with the enable apt command. (I could not find the app you are talking about)

I've the same, my other problem is that the computer who DSL is installed doesn't have any internet access, so what should i do to install debian packages ?

--------------
My DSL Config :
P III 450 MHz
256 MB Ram
512 MB Swap Partition
