I meant Krusader, not Konqueror (but I can't manage to install it neither)

I went to console (ctrl+alt+f1) and found directory where I placed file:
krusader_1.70.0-0breezy0_i386.deb
Then I typed "sudo aptitude install krusader"  - some activity happened,
looked like all is ok, but I can't notice any changes
Then I typed: "sudo aptitude install krusader_1.70.0-0breezy0_i386.deb"
and same activity again.

Did I maybe installed Krusader ? Where is it placed, I want to make
shortcut to desktop or something like that 

And talking about Synaptic, I've found it, but I can't figure out how to
install anything with it and how to use Repository menu neither.

Notice that I can NOT access internet from Ubuntu (gnome)
I downloaded files from Windows XP and transfered them to Ubuntu
