   Agreed. I am weighing my desire to test MBSE against the work required to edit   
   the setup procedure. I tried the MBSE install on a fresh install of Ubuntu   
   v15.10. After the creation of user "mbse" and group "bbs" the install scipt   
   (Run as root) generated a multitude of errors. Mostly related to directory and   
   file creation. The the script ended indicating that the intsall had completed   
   successfully.   Sadly, I see no point in continuing the testing process.
