I do this a lot of the time on my Debian shared hosting provider servers. I've installed custom PHP, Python, and lot of other smaller binaries/applications from the deb binaries directly. I have absolutely no root access, so no chroot, sudo or other hacks. I have a ~/opt folder inside which I extract all my debs and manually move the the files into place. Set $PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH (for the .so libraries), and set manually the config file path to your binaries eg. "-c ~/opt/etc/foo.conf". You'll have to manually resolve pkg dependencies, etc. The same method should work for any linux distro. What applications/packages are you wanting to install? - Raja _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
