Install it under /usr/local; the packaging system won't touch it there. I'd try to avoid using local installs for things other packages depend on. For things like a JVM, you could install any other JVM to satisfy dpkg's dependencies but repoint the links in /etc/alternatives manually to use /usr/local/bin/java, etc. You can also use the equivs package to create an empty package and thereby "lie" to dpkg about what it thinks is installed. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
