apt-get is in the apt package, in slink. You shouldn't have any
problems just downloading and installing the package via dpkg. In its
current incarnation, APT appears as an additional dselect method that
deals with at least HTTP and FTP; change your dselect access method to
use APT. You also might need to manually configure your
/etc/apt/sources.list file; see the sources.list(5) man page for
details on the file format.
