[QUOTE=scotty1024
The dpkg command supports arguments to re-direct package installs onto the memory card and keep the stuff out of your root file system:

dpkg --root=/mnt/cf/opt/debian
[/QUOTE]

there is a -root and a -o. I believe that the difference is that -root installs onto the memory but keeps the install info along the other packages in the main directory, while -o executes a completely external install (then not easy to uninstall because you must tell where the installing info is).
