apt-setup
# as root, configure sources.list file via q & a instead of
# having to worry and panic about misunderstanding the
# obfuscated /etc/apt/sources.list conundrum

	then

apt-get update
# make sure your package list is current

apt-get upgrade
# update installed packages to most recent incarnations

	then

apt-get install <something-or-other>
# download, configure, install a package or two or three

	for example

apt-get install mozilla chimera arena gzilla links

now if we can figure out what the www-browser package does...
(packages.debian.org/www-browser shows no matches; apt-cache
show www-browser shows nothing; apt-cache showpkg www-browser
shows lots of reverse-depends...?)
