Just install the application under /usr/local and you shouldn't run into any problems. I wonder what you mean when you say the deb installs into the wrong directory, though -- maybe a bug report is in order? What package is it? What files end up in the wrong place? Where do you expect to see them and why do you think the place they are in is wrong? good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume.shtml
