      01 Aug 16 23:24, you wrote to me:               ml>> i can understand it but it is just weird having to have two copies of        ml>> the repo... thanks, though!               AL> Technically, you don't need to keep two copies. The INSTALL        AL> instructions, AAMOF, suggest unpacking the tarball to /tmp as the root        AL> user, running the SETUP.sh script to create the MBSE users and home        AL> directories, and then logging in as the mbse user to unpack and build        AL> the software.              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...              )\/(ark              Always Mount a Scratch Monkey              ...
