Can apt-get work in puppy?

I'm not sure if Puppy is set up for app-get as it has its own program downloaders PupGet and DotPup.

Busybox has two insteresting apps, "dpkg" and "dpkg_deb", and I compiled Busybox with support for the former -- so it's in Puppy.
Never looked at it though.

i did try dpgk-deb, but it didn't seem to work right
which is why i made a dotpup with the real dpkg-deb, which seems to unzip the deb properly

by the way the latest version of Busybox is 1.0.1 ... Aug 16, 2005
