Long ago and far away, I vaguely remember that if I installed using the root user, I would wind up with strange files in my home directory that only the root could manipulate. Since the install is now going exclusively to /opt and /etc, I am completely certain that the installation must, perforce, be done as root. Further, there cannot be any files that get installed that have to be modified by an OO user because to do so would mean that only the root user could edit documents on the system. That is so inconceivable that I am sure it is not true.
Nevertheless, why does my OO lock up so tight it takes a kill -TERM to end the process?
