Some suggestions 1. apt-get has an option -d Download only - do NOT install or unpack archives You can use a similar option for YUM, get the packages downloaded (with all dependencies) http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/yum-downloadonly-plugin/ then install with option --root=<directory> Install on a different root directory. (say your home directory) Look at this link for some discussions. http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/RedHat/2006-04/msg00254.html 2. alternatively you can download the src rpms (here again you have to work out dependencies. 3. Get root access or sudo permissions explaining your needs.
