Amount is an alternative to typing mount/umount commands or using the automounter. It mounts all the partitions mentioned in a command line, runs the command, and then unmounts them again. It knows about shell wildcards.
Just stick 'amount' on the front of your command line, for
example:
amount ls /mnt/floppy/*.txt
If the shell can't glob the *.txt then amount will
try again after /mnt/floppy has been mounted.
Run
./install --prefix=/usr/local
or whatever directory you want.
