How to install debian packages in dsl and how to know the dependencies for gnumeric?

Alright I'm soft so I'll indulge you ...
Click on MyDsl on your desktop and download the apt-get.dsl and the synaptic.dsl while you're there, or find the "get synaptic" thing on the right click menus. Open emelfm, find & select these downloaded .dsl's and click the MyDsl button. The desktop will blink and the synaptic icon will appear on your desktop.
Click synaptic, find your package, click install, click proceed. That's it, GUI all the way.
The debian package system automatically takes care of all the dependencies, that's why it's so bloody wonderful. But note if you happen to have the wrong .dsl's installed this can & does get buggered up - mixing the two systems is hit & miss.
if you have the net working in dsl then it should be no problemo, just download and install dsl-dpkg.dsl and then apt-get gnumeric
