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 ?
