Haven't used it since 5.1, but with that version you installed SO as root and then install SO as a user. In the cobwebs of my mind is that there was a special option (possibly -net) that you had to specify for the root install. The user install created document directories, config files, etc, it did not install SO over again. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
