Sounds like some more complications... but it looks like I have things worked out. I just have to pick up a spare USB hub after work to get the 1TB disk attached to the Aquarius M10.
As for getting packages properly installed, it looks like this will work fine and get me the correct packages when run on the notepad via my ssh connection like this or something similar (ie I might need another switch parameter): apt-get download <package> dpkg -i <package> --root=/home/dev/ I've already got gcc to download on the notepad this way, but I am not going to install it until I get the big disk attached.
