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