Once you have the base system installed you should not need to write the
rest of the packages to a floppy. If you use DOS to download them, you
only need mount the dos partition and install them directly from there.

The .deb files are package files created by the dpkg collection of tools.
After you install the dpkg package take a look at the documentation in
/usr/doc/dpkg policy.html and programmer.html for instructions on how to
use these tools.
