I'm pretty sure that the profile creation dialog allows to >choose a directory where the profile should be created. Well, yes, but you have to create the parent folder before you start, because you can't create a directory the profile will live in, just point at already existing ones. And there's no mechanism for migrating existing settings to a different profile name or copying an existing profile as the basis for another. And the installation process does not do this, it just creates the profile for you. At least, I don't remember being asked about it at any point. And, in any event, it's not really the profile location that bothers me, but the cache location. To me, it just seems bloody stupid to maintain separate caches for multiple users. Just allocate a cache size equal to the standard allocation per user times the number of users, and then nobody comes up short. If the multiple users happen to visit some of the same sites, it would end up being more efficient. -- David W.
