> Does anyone know if there is a way to redirect a make install (ie make
install DESTDIR=).  I am trying to accomplish what the appendix A did in
the pocket linux guide, but the application that I am installing is a
little more complex than the mp3blaster.  If I could just redirect the
install process to another directory, it would help out tremendously!

Dave,

It varies depending on the package.  Some use DESTDIR=, some use ROOT=
or PREFIX=.  You kind of have to dig around in the Makefile to find out.
 Look for the section that starts with "install:"
