Welcome to Ubuntu, Karen and Paul,

I read frustration in your message but am at a loss to identify your problem
other than modem issues.  Could you be more specific please.  Which edition
of Ubuntu have you chosen and what is the equipment that it is running on.
What files do you want to install.
What, broadly, is your geographical location.

There is plenty of help available.

Cheers,
Andre
