various Newton sites have .pkg files directly available.
http://www.misnic.com/
if the pkg files are zipped, then you can try, e.g.,
http://www.palmzip.com/palmzip.nsf/direct?openagent&http://somesite.com/your.zip
(substituting your URL at end; this returns an HTML page with file names to
select)

you'd need NIE installed, and to access files via ftp: (NewtFtp or LunaSuite)
or files via http: a web browser (NetHopper, LunaSuite or Newt's Cape).
or you could email yourself packages, e.g., using SimpleMail.
for more info aobut NIE, connecting, browsers, etc., see the FAQ:
