If you mean can DSL be converted into Debian, not really.  DSL has support for Debian packages, but the base system is very different.  You can probably, eventually, turn DSL into a system resembling Debian, but it would be much simpler just to install Debian.

No I was hoping I could boot to pendrive or something and use apt-get to install debian. I am out of cds and looking for a way to install debian.
