You can avoid having a separate /opt partition by pointing it to
/usr/local.

When setting this up, as root,

cd /
ls -al /opt           # make sure it's not present or empty
rmdir /opt            # if it's present but empty, delete it

ln -s /usr/local /opt # link /opt to /usr/local

The only thing I have in /opt is Google Earth, and it works.

HTH,
Robert
