   I am starting to think similarly as I have gotten on in years. I have tried   
   most if not all of the (Then or Now) available BBS software. Both the paid for   
   types like Wildcat/WinServer and BBBS to the other 'Free' BBS packages that   
   would run on my selected OS platforms of DOS, Windows, Linux, OS/2.

   I have run into both aspects of that issue with BBS software. With BBBS one can   
    specify the install location. For me I use /home/bbbs as the install location.   
    Other BBS's like Mystic need to to create the BBS install directory and it can   
    not preexist. Although I have found a workaround for the Linux version of   
   Mystic.   
      
   Currently my preferred BBS software is BBBS, Mystic, and Synchronet as they are   
    all multi-platform packages.
