Answering my own post. Sigh.
I have discovered that Debian systems have a raft of package installers. So far, dpkg is the only one I've found to support installing into a different place in the tree. So: To install foo into /opt/ltsp/i386: On server: aptitude install foo Aptitude will download foo and any dependencies, and leave the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives Now I can run dpkg --root=/opt/ltsp/i386 --install /var/cache/apt/archives/foo* Usually this will fuss, becuase not all the dependencies will match. Rerun the command several times, adding packages. Better way? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
