Why not ... take note of the files on a pre-install system. Now install the modules and software you want and then build a tar bundle or similar with these files in it, all placed in there proper place. Sometimes you can build files into a chroot type place but setup to run from final install. That may help make things easier.

Now extract the files onto a test school system and ensure it all works. If it does and no adverse affects on other software already installed you have an "image" sort of thing that can be intalled where ever. You really should ensure that you don't overwrite existing programmes unless you know what you are doing. Certainly don't downgrade files.

Note that a downside is that the system may not record the install in package management tools unless you are using that as the mechanism.
