You can easily extract the raw binary out of the .deb file:
$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/ksh/ksh_93r-1_i386.deb
# it's about 1.1 Mb
$ dpkg --extract ksh_93r-1_i386.deb /tmp/kshstuff
$ ls -l /tmp/kshstuff/bin/ksh93
Obviously you don't have to use the US mirror, there are others:
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=i386&file=pool%2Fmain%2Fk%2Fksh%2Fksh_93r-1_i386.deb&md5sum=e25b1f0123cd96ced834e12cb1b492f8&arch=i386&type=main
If you're doing it on a non-debian system, you can still extract it:
$ ar x ksh_93r-1_i386.deb
$ mkdir kshstuff
$ cd kshstuff
$ tar -xvf ../data.tar.gz
$ ls -l /tmp/kshstuff/bin/ksh93
Obviously, you will still need the shared libraries it depends on for it
to actually work. And possible other run-time support files. But most
Linux systems should have that available.
Hope this helps
