Just wondering...
I installed SO5, but chose to install in /opt rather than /home. I've
not spent any time trying to debug that so not starting may be as simple
as a broken link, but I was just wondering if the consensus was the
default install or if anyone has had my experience.
At present my /home is only 100Mb so I prefer to keep apps such as
snavigator and such there.
TIA,
Bob
