It wasn't really space I was worried about, I just didn't want to have to 
drag X into the equation, since the box is squirelled away (which rules out 
hooking a monitor to it) and (for possible unnecessary reasons) I like to 
keep as little software on it as possible, especially since I'd have to 
install software from testing/unstable (namely Qt). As you point out, X and 
Qt libs are very small, and this box has far too much free space, even on 
the /usr partition...

I'll give shunting mythconverg over a go. Thanks for the clarification (and 
to David as well, just read your mail too) - the best I got from googling 
et al was that "it might work", at least now I know it won't!
