Prashant,

I most recently compiled amanda on Solaris, because I want
to re-compile as rairly as possible I include anything that
I am likely to require later on.

That would include port restrictions for FW systems, tar
for partitions that aren't amenable to being dumped, either
too large and needing to be divided, or perhaps ZFS based,
and I am very much looking forward to testing ZFS snapshot
support in amanda.

My most recent configure command looked like this, yours will
be different.

# ./configure --with-user=amanda --with-group=sys
   --with-udpportrange=932,948 --with-tcpportrange=10084,10100
   --with-gtar=/usr/local/bin/tar --with-libraries=/usr/sfw/lib
   --with-libraries=/opt/sfw/lib --with-libraries=/usr/local/lib/amanda

Note, you will need to precreate the amanda user, I don't believe
that litterally creating an "amanda" account is necessarilly the
smart way to go, you may want something more generic, or perhaps
fitting the scheme of your site.

I accept all of the default target directories for the installation.

I realize this in no way addresses the original question, how to
install just the client software on a particular system.

Oh By the way, your email is coming through as .gif, if you could
write future emails as text it would be helpful to me. thanks.
