Hi Mark,

I agree with the suggestion -- I just don't agree with the method of
going about solving the problem. Here's what I have:

Index: INSTALL

+*NOTE:
+- LTP assumes the existence of the nobody, bin, and daemon users and their
+groups.  If these IDs do not exist, certain tests will fail. The users and
+groups IDs should be the same, i.e. if user "nobody" is 99, then it's group
+should also be "99". The names of the groups are irrelevant.
+- The installation directory is /opt/ltp by default. Please see "Using autoconf
" above and specify the appropriate path via --prefix. DESTDIR= is also honored
for install and will install into $DESTDIR/$prefix, if you want to install into
a chroot or a rootfs for instance.
