fake install path
I vaguely recall that there is variable that you can pass to 'make' to install to a different root, similar to what happens during building a binary RPM, for example: make install VARIABLE=/tmp/amanda-2.4.4p2 The result is that you end up with all of the amanda files in /tmp/amanda-2.4.4p2/usr/local and so on. Then you can do something like this: cd /tmp/amanda-2.4.4p2 tar cvzf amanda-tarball.tgz . Then you can ftp the tarball to a different machine, cd / and extract the tarball. Does anybody remember what VARIABLE is supposed to be or how to do this? My goal is to set up a Snap Appliance 4500 as an amanda server--Yeah, I have already seen Preston Smith's page about setting up amanda client on a Snap 4400, and I also know that Snap Appliance won't take responsibility if I somehow manage to screw up my Snap. Thanks, --jonathan

Re: fake install path
Thanks, that worked: make install prefix=/tmp/amanda-2.4.4p2/usr/local cd /tmp/amanda-2.4.4p2 tar cvzf ../amanda-tarball.tgz Paul Bijnens wrote: The prefix= can be specified to override the configure prefix like: make install prefix=/tmp/amanda-2.4.4p2
