At the very most, you need to briefly dip into the CLI to create the directory you want and assign yourself ownership using pfexec. I've done this myself... /opt/bofh is owned by me, and I do application installations into it, with the extra piece of mind knowing that some clumsy Makefile isn't going to drop a file into the OS where it doesn't belong (and yes, I've run into multiple instances of that...) > which sits in the same partition as operating system installation > partition is the worst thing. Best thing is to login thru root. I have This is absolutely the same as Windows. Windows 7 and Vista both place c:\Users on the OS partition. You need to hack around - including the obscure MMC gui - to get them off. Logging in as root is absolutely the worst thing. It turns a simple mistake into a disaster.
