make install VARIABLE=/tmp/amanda-2.4.4p2
The result is that you end up with all of the amanda files in /tmp/amanda-2.4.4p2/usr/local and so on. Then you can do something like this:
cd /tmp/amanda-2.4.4p2 tar cvzf amanda-tarball.tgz .
Then you can ftp the tarball to a different machine, "cd /" and extract the tarball. Does anybody remember what VARIABLE is supposed to be or how to do this?
My goal is to set up a Snap Appliance 4500 as an amanda server--Yeah, I have already seen Preston Smith's page about setting up amanda client on a Snap 4400, and I also know that Snap Appliance won't take responsibility if I somehow manage to screw up my Snap.
