If you don't want to run the installer as root -- which may not be an unreasonable stance -- then use an RPM or some other similar package: they don't have anything to do with the installer, and are designed for system installs as root. Or, hop on over to mozdev and write a system installer, I guess. I'm not sure there's demand, but it's up to you. Mike
