Hi Henry,

you download the packages as *.tar.gz files (let's say you put them on your 
Desktop) then start Octave and type

  octave-2.9.16:1> pkg install ~/Desktop/signal-1.0.4.tar.gz

This will create a folder ~/octave in your HOME directory where the packages 
will be installed. If you don't see an error message while evaluating the pkg 
command the everything seems to be fine on your system (10.4.10 PPC, right?)
