the packages have to be installed to the default directories! that is the reason you build a package and use a tool (pkgadd) to install the package...
maybe you can give a better explanation of what you want to do and why... |

earlier i tried to install kde on my system...
i ran ./install from the dvd, but it gave me error saying that there was not enough space(after about 15 mins of copying onto the FS), but i have about 13g of space on /export/home... So if i could some how install it there ,it would work fine...isnt it.. Hence i wanted to know if it is possible to re-route the packages to some other dirs |

As already stated, a package is created so that you do not have to compile and configure software each time you want to install it. However, With a package the installation point should already be made, however if you really need to you can create a sym link of where it is installing it to a directory on a filesystem that actually has the space.

Actually, a symlink won't work as pkgadd will remove it before installing the files. You can use a lofs mount instead.
