    AL> Technically, you don't need to keep two copies.  The INSTALL

   that sounds more like what i'd expect... i'll have to dig in a li'l deeper as   
   i'm pretty sure that the permissions and ownership likely need to be adjusted   
   so the mbse user can get to them...   
      
    AL> The only file you actually need from that first unpacking is SETUP.sh.   
    AL> Once you have run that once to create the users and home directories,   
    AL> you can delete that copy.   
      
   i guess that works, too :)   
      
    AL> Robert's script just substitutes grabbing the current code from the   
    AL> git repository for downloading a tarball and unpacking it.   
      
   ok...
