If Peter's on Ubuntu then there's a googleearth-package package, SGTNIT,
that has make-googleearth-package(1) which downloads stuff from Google
and builds a .deb. That .deb could then be installed. (Haven't tried
it.)
$ pkg sh googleearth-package | sed -n '/^Desc/,$p'
Description: utility to automatically build a Debian package of Google Earth
Google Earth is a 3D planet viewer that lets you interactively navigate
satellite imagery, maps, terrain, and so forth.
Google Earth is available for GNU/Linux from their web site, but is non-
free
software and is undistributable. It also does not integrate well into a
Debian
system.
This utility makes it possible to build your own personal Debian package of
Google Earth. The packaging itself is Free Software, but the Google Earth
program is governed by the copyright holder (Google), so you may be
limited as
to what you can do with the resulting package (i.e. no redistribution,
etc).
This package will simply help you create the package --it is your
responsibility to use the resulting package responsibly.
Google Earth's homepage is located at <http://earth.google.com/>.

Cheers, Ralph.
