My needs might be better served if there were an easy way to instruct dpkg to install the binaries on a different filesystem, like a zip disk. There is probably a way to do this easily, but I haven't figured it out. Have to do links by hand? THe config files, and so on, should go in the regulary places. Maybe more experience with system admin will suggest a way to do this.
For example, on my tiny machine, any package of a megabyte would put me in a pinch, but I might want to use slrn or yorick intermittently. Alan Davis -- Alan Eugene Davis Marianas High School 15o 8.8'N GMT+10 [EMAIL PROTECTED] AAA 196 Box 10,001 145o 42.5'E Saipan, MP 96950 Northern Mariana Islands
