can i use kpackage?
where will be the program stored? is it the ram disk?

Assuming that you want to use more than the limited RAM disk created each bbot, by NOT having only an NTFS partition. I acomplished this by resizing my notebook's NTF partition as soon as I bought it and making the remaining space a FAT partition. Downside: I can have any single files over 4 gig in size (didn't leave enough room on the NTFS partition). Upside: I am able to save files to the FAT partition, compile files there and so on. I used a Partition Magic like tool to do this. Other solutions: Add a second drive to a desktop with one or more FAT partitions. USE a USB flash Drive or an external drive with a FAT partition.

oh, dear... thank you very much for the answer but i'm afraid i didn't understand almost anything
do you think you could give me a more idiotproof and newbie orientated answer, please?

i'll try to make my question possibly simple:
i'm a 100% of a newbie. using knoppix 3.8 (except for that, windows xp). got a half-year old computer.
i have downloaded flash player and mutella and i want to install them.
can i use kpackage/klick/apt and simply install them without having to worry about anything?
