Yes, that might be a problem - a solution might be to grab the source code when installing to ~ and then compile on-the-fly - which will, of course, make installation take a bit longer, especially on older/slower machines. Still, I think the inability to easily install locally, without using sudo (and without bothering other users) is a usability problem - however, if the directory/path structure is laid down at compile time, it may not be easy to come up with a satisfactory solution. I still think it'd be a very nice feature to have, though - allow people to have the Add/Remove goodness even without being sudoers - it would be a huge improvement in all many-user environments. br Carsten -- http://www.modspil.dk -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
