Can I run Linux apps from my FAT32 hard drive?

I've been playing around with Damn Small Linux and would like to know
if I can access downloaded Linux apps stored on my Windows hard
drive. I don't want to do a HD install because my wife relies on
Windows for Yahoo messenger to communicate with her family and friends
who are scattered all over the globe. I tried using YM in Linux, but
with no luck. Further, I don't have the Windows disc to do a
reinstall if (when) I screw up the repartitioning.
I've successfully mounted my hard drive and downloaded apps to it from
DSL. I've then unpacked them. After that, however, I'm lost. When I
click "install", I usually get error messages mentioning syslink and/
or permission denied. I'm doing all of this as superuser, by the way.
Is what I'm attempting possible? If so, I'd appreciate any
suggestions on how to get it to work.
