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> So what's your problem ?
