Add a package to DSL but not installed?

[mrbios]

Hello linux users, this is a rare venture for me as i don't often come here

I have a copy of damn small linux, i've turned the GUI off as i don't need it for what i want to use it for (i work in a school, we're trying to make a little USB bootable linux distro so students can do some course requirements)

I have a little package downloaded, i want to put this package into my damn small linux usb install (it runs in QEMU within windows) but i dont want to actually install it. Part of what students need to do is to show they can do various tasks and installing a package is one of those tasks...ideally i don't want to give them internet access on these, or rather, i don't want to rely on it due to varied hardware they'll be using (I can't guarantee the network drivers will work for them all)

So is there any way i can add the package so that they can install it later?

2 options come to mind
damn small linux is debian based if memory serves, you can just download the .deb package (make sure dependancies are already installed if your going to cut off internet access)

or slightly more work is host your own debian repo somewhere on your LAN and put the packages you want in there
