Nothing comes to mind, other than that something system-wide requires root access to install. The question then becomes why one would trust one's security to a machine one does not have root access to. I'm not sure what the plan is there, if there is one. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe

What's wrong with "system-wide" installation -- as long as it's run as a restricted non-root user? ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe

Odd. Where are you trying to install it to? What errors do you get, specifically? It's correct that the official distribution of Freenet should not be installed or run by root. There's an experimental Debian package that installs it system-wide, and I think the (unofficial?) Gentoo package is system-wide as well. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
[freenet-support] Trying to install in SUSE Linux
When I try to install it in LINUX, wants to be installed not as root. when I try to install from a non root shell, it can't access or find the files to install. -- --- -The invisible fire fly illuminates nothing!
