   I partitioned my MBSE system with /opt as the second partition.  That way MBSE   
   isn't disturbed when I upgrade to a newer version of Slackware.  As you say   
   below, all I need to do is create user accounts on the new / partition with   
   the same uid's etc.

   Mine never has been.  I've always setup /opt as a separate partition.

   With my setup, the complete BBS is on a separate partition.  In your changes,   
   are you still creating BBS user home directories under the MBSE_ROOT   
   directory? ie: $MBSE_ROOT/home/username  When upgrading to 1.0.2, will we have   
   to rename /opt/mbse to /home/mbsebbs and then create a symlink from /opt/mbse   
   to /home/mbsebbs?
