None of those three options is useful here. The redirection is not either:
the working directory is used. You always make things so complicated...
Bear in mind that I was forced to use the working directory in the flash
drive, because that flash drive
was my only usable file-transfer medium at the time.
If you really want to use Wget, just execute:
$ cd /media/george/IPv4/Destination/
That part is correct.
$ wget

There's a missing step in the above script: Transfer the T420 clone to the
bottom of the pile on my
physical desk, restart the crippled T420, plug the flash drive into the USB
port, and then invoke the
installer from the working directory on the flash drive.
So, you execute Wget instead of right clicking on two links on this Web page
and choosing "Save Link As...", but you then take a graphical file manager to
navigate down a deep branch of the file hierarchy (deep because you added
options you do not understand to wget) instead of using cd and the
auto-completion of the shell...
Those steps were not available on the T420 clone, because that computer had
no electronic connection
to the WiFi-less T420 in spite of its close physical proximity.
Nevertheless, read on:

help?
Now, several hours after the above discourse, I bit the bullet, re-learned
how to navigate the grub
menu by consulting my library of spiral notebooks, activated an earlier
version of Trisquel 8, and
continued with my usual morning ritual of downloading emails, trashing spam,
etc. with an un-buggy
Trisquel operating system, which makes the WiFi connection seamless.
Now, the installation of the linux-modules-extra from Abrowser from its
address line was trivial,
and the result was completely satisfactory after re-booting the current
operating system.
The condensed version of my reply is Yes!
Thank you.
