Take a look at dpkg(8), apt.conf(5) and /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz In particular, look at dpkg's options for --force-not-root and --root=<DIRECTORY>. Typically, you could use this w/other force options to install in $HOME. Set up apt w/it's Dir:: options to point to directories in $HOME. Once you've set things up, write a HOWTO and post it here and on Debian User. ;-) -- Chad Walstrom <chewie@wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */
