   I have had to do similar more than once due to having multi partitions/distros    
   all pointing to   
   one install areas/home/mbse   
      
   So, I copy the SETUP.sh to STUP2.sh (yes I know original). Then hack that    
   removing segments not   
   needed but mostly creating home directories and/or mbse user accounts    
   including bbs if already   
   set up.   
      
   Then run it and yes I double check the script before running and even then    
   sometime have to   
   mod the mod and rerun..
