First, create a directory where you'll store packages you want to install on your BL system.
I like Sindi's approach of making a directory called "tgz" under /tmp and putting these
things there (.tgz is the extension for Slackware and BL packages). So, do
----
mkdir /tmp/tgz
----
Then, cd to that newly-created directory before using wget to download packages
(packages/things you download using wget end up in whatever directory you're in when you run
it, so long as you have write permissions in that directory):
----
cd /tmp/tgz
----
Then, proceed with Karolis' fine instructions.
