Have you ever tried "The Zero Install system"?
http://zero-install.sourceforge.net/index.html
Here's an example: http://zero-install.sourceforge.net/...html#id2415707Code:Anyone can install software You don't have to be root just to install a word-processor. Anyone can distribute software You don't need to be blessed by a distribution (or anyone else) to be part of Zero Install. It doesn't matter whether software is installed or not You just run it. Zero Install handles the rest (downloading and caching as needed). Downloads are shared If one user installs a 20 Mb application, another user can run it without downloading it again. Users don't need to trust each other If one user downloads a malicious program, other users aren't affected.

yeah, nobody has replied but you, so I guess everybody think is not a good idea to test
Thanks, tho.
Later
Probably a good reason for testing really.
>>
Downloads are shared

Sounds like it's doing a Bittorent type of thing.
Auto .... nice idea, but .....
Surrendering root privileges deserves some scrutiny.
