I know the idea isn't perfect but AFAIK the "make root's home dir > /root" is far larger than the "keep number of installer questions > low"-camp... :-)
I would tend to bet that those that care where root's home directory is (and especially those that have a reason that they want it at /) are not terribly likely to be using an interactive installation program. I would vote for having it move to /root by default and allowing JASS or similar finishing scripts take care of moving it, if needed. Mike -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/
