Question Isolated installations on a network location

Hi,


I'm looking to have certain packages installed on a location on my network(lets call this mount point /software) in such a way that they can run needing anything from the local system. So that when any of my users does /software/bin/vlc or /software/bin/open-office or /software/bin/eclipse, it runs completely off the server without requiring anything from their systems, apart from some symblinks maybe.
I've done this for quite a few apps (firefox, chrome, eclipse, skype, java, qt etc) but not for rpm packages. I'd like to take these two packages as examples, if required : vlc-0.9.9a-7.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm & OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-rpm-wJRE_en-US.tar.gz

Can rpm packages be installed such?

Cheers

PS : I'm on centos 5.6 x64

NAME
ip-netns - process network namespace management SYNOPSIS
ip [ OPTIONS ] netns { COMMAND | help } ip netns { list } ip netns { add | delete } NETNSNAME ip netns exec NETNSNAME command ... DESCRIPTION
A network namespace is logically another copy of the network stack, with it's own routes, firewall rules, and network devices. By convention a named network namespace is an object at /var/run/netns/NAME that can be opened. The file descriptor resulting from opening /var/run/netns/NAME refers to the specified network namespace. Holding that file descriptor open keeps the network namespace alive. The file descriptor can be used with the setns(2) system call to change the network namespace associated with a task. The convention for network namespace aware applications is to look for global network configuration files first in /etc/netns/NAME/ then in /etc/. For example, if you want a different version of /etc/resolv.conf for a network namespace used to isolate your vpn you would name it /etc/netns/myvpn/resolv.conf. ip netns exec automates handling of this configuration, file convention for network namespace unaware applications, by creating a mount namespace and bind mounting all of the per network namespace configure files into their traditional location in /etc. ip netns list - show all of the named network namespaces ip netns add NAME - create a new named network namespace ip netns delete NAME - delete the name of a network namespace ip netns exec NAME cmd ... - Run cmd in the named network namespace EXAMPLES
