There is not a:\ in GNU/Linux. It's /dev/fd0 and you'll have to mount the unit.
Put the diskette. type: mount /dev/fd0 /floppy (make sure you have a directory called /floppy in the base directory). Then go to /floppy If you can see there the file you've downloaded, go to /floppy and type dpkg -i nethack_3.2.3-3.deb -i is for "install". If you change the diskette, umount it first (umount /dev/fd0). If there are extra issues, I don't know. I'm pretty new at GNU/Linux, man. It's the stuff I do when I install packages from the CD-ROM.
