No - just download the .deb files for the applications you want, then
copy those to your flash drive. On the target machine, open a terminal,
and run the following command...
sudo dpkg -i /path/to/flash/drive/programname.deb
If you have multiple packages that have to be installed (dependencies,
etc.), you can list more than one .deb file on the command.
