   Since I have a preference that BBBS runs out of the user directory as in   
   /home/bbbs I installed BBBS to use and install to that directory and    
   created the user "bbbs" and told Linux to use the pre-existing bbbs home   
   directory.   
      
   A number of programs default to installing to a /home//  while   
   others are hard coded to install to a predetermined directory and refuse to   
   install IF the install directory already exists.
