 Hello Fernando,

 I am now able to actually use the computer a bit.  Installing lfs-systemd-
 rc1.

 I just checked through the log file for libreoffice and found that I was
 not dreaming about it attempting to delete /opt when I did the install
 without a log file.

 This is in the log:

 rmdir: failed to remove ‘/opt’

 It is indeed very alarming to see it attempt deleting a directory like
 this.

 Now for the warning:

 <warning>This program attempts deleting directories that it has no rights
 to.</warning>

 I think that warning should be simple enough.  Unless Bruce or others have
 a better one.

 Regards,

 Christopher.
