Once you have mounted the DOS partition so that you can access the .deb
file with Linux, just issue
dpkg -i pine_3_9.deb
This will try to install the .deb file. If you don't have a package that
pine depends on, dpkg will complain, tell you what package is needed and
fail to install pine. You can then use any method to install the needed
package.
If you want to find ou on which packages pine depends, use this command:
dpkg --info pine_3_9.deb
