Well, I'm running unstable too, without problems. So "Thus, nothing works"
sounds a bit strange to me. We'd be interested to know what doesn't
work, and why!
But, to help your friend, you might do something like
dpkg -i --selected-only --recursive $frozen-mirror
with $frozen-mirror the place where you mirror (or mounted) a image
of frozen. (I never tested this, only learned it from dpkg -h).
