That is how I do it, almost. Save your old /usr/bin/pear and ~/.pearrc before installing go-pear into your webroot. Then move the new .pearrc to webroot and call webroot/pear/bin/pear -c /wherever/you/moved/your/new/.pearrc. Move your saved /usr/bin/pear and .pearrc back (I think the debian package uses /etc/pear/pear.conf for the default /usr/bin/pear, so no .pearrc should be there). That works fine here. Cheers Jan
