   What official release ?   
      
   What, where, when !   
      
   For many years I have been installing mbse at /home/mbse using ./configure   
   --prefix=/home/mbse followed by a modified version of SETUP.sh where all   
   instances of /opt replaced by /home.   
      
   No issues what so ever.   
      
   Why do I use /home?   
      
   Because I have different distros or just different versions of a distro and do   
   not want to create duplicates of the entire mbse directories of more than 16Gb   
   when ever I have to test a new distro version prior to installing it over a   
   production system.   
      
   Michael had no issues with me and others doing so and DID OFFER FULL SUPPORT.   
      
   So what's your problem ?   
      
   Vincent
