Once you have the files you can use the dpkg command to install them. Be
sure to read the dpkg man page. It has a lot of useful options.
Simple Example:
dpkg -i /mypkgs/simpl*
Suppose that a package simpleton-2.3.x.deb was found and installed OK
after executing this command. The database would be updated and the select
screen of dselect would show it as installed.
Re: NFS
If you have nfs installed properly and permission to mount the remote
filesytem:
mount -t nfs foo:/public /mnt/debian
would work if machine foo was exporting /public and you had created a
directory /mnt/debian.
