Yes, I understand now. It makes sense. It's worth a try I suppose, but I fail to see why running it as root one time is so bad. I do realize you have issues with the LiveCD that prevents you from running as root, but that seems to be a special case. Is it a matter of principle or is it that folks feel it is a security risk to run the program once as the root user? I mean, the Moz Devs still to this day recommend to do that, but perhaps their documentation is outdated. Good discussion though. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.22] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 00:03:00 up 35 days, 14:51, 1 user, load average: 0.17, 0.17, 0.18 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
