Heu, ...
I guess that the apt-get method will use apt-get to retrieve packages.
apt-get will first download all needed stuff, and once that is done will
install and setup it, eventually asking questions.
It will copy all stuff in /var/cache/apt/archive though, so you will have to
provide enough space fior it.
