Don’t wish to appear too stupid, but how do you unpack a .deb file? All my previous experience with Unix has been Fedora or Irix

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcl/cvs/HOWTO-UNPACK-DEBS. They are really just “ar” archives, with some control files (pre-install scripts, post-install scripts, etc).
Should be able to just extract them with ar and pull the binaries out.
