As I run multi distro setups I prefer the standard method and path of 
/opt/mbse
and yes I did try and use /home/mbse many moons ago but had too many problems
so have left it in /opt along with a stack of other apps.

I just have to remember to copy over /opt AND /home/vince to a new system.

Also using /var/lib could be in a restricted space area that is unique to the
distro, another bag of worms.


Just my 5 penny worth.

For all:   I have today release the latest and last mbse release from Michiel
(that I received today) which is mbb10000.rar into fido land in the MBSE_BBS
area so you should all see this within the next 3 - 24 hours.
