I fixed an old broken laptop and connected the cable from the modem to the back 
of the laptop and it works fine.  Eberhard said to look for linux apps.  If I 
do that, I don't know how to install a tar ball.  If I found a .deb, could I 
download it to a folder, copy it to disk or flash drive and install it in the 
other machine that way.  Or could I download Klamov using this command, 
kdesudo apt-get Klamov without the word install, just to get the application, 
copy it to disk or flash then install it in the other machine.

When I use a package manager to install an application, I really do not 
understand what it does when applied.  Same thing when using the konsole.  I 
just type in kdesudo apt-get install and the application, then the computer 
automatically does it's thing.  I can't do that now, because it has to be 
downloaded to the laptop saved to disk and installed in the other box.

I feel so stupid; apparently it is so easy that no one will explain.  Still, I 
can't figure it out.
