This is cheating but Debian has a web repository at http://packages.debian.org where you can download packages for different architectures and search, etc. Find out what packages Pd-extended depends on, download the ppc .deb files from the debian server, pop them on a flash drive and drop them on your net-less ppc at home and then install them first with
sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb
Then install the pd-extended deb package using the same command.
That's what I would do - but it's not very elegant and maybe someone has a better idea. Kevin

Hi!
Maybe this is more of an ubuntu package question than a Pd question, but...
I've got an old iMac running xubuntu at home, except that home has no internet connection. When I tried installing the pd-extended package it went and tried to download the depends, which of course it couldn't, because it has no internet connection.
Is there a complete meta-package of Pd-extended and all the depends that I could just plop onto this machine? Is it possible to make one (I don't have access to another PPC-ubuntu machine with a net connection to do this, it would have to be either an intel-ubuntu or OS X machine doing the work).
Thanks! D
