Agreed. I am weighing my desire to test MBSE against the work required to edit 
the setup procedure. I tried the MBSE install on a fresh install of Ubuntu 
v15.10. After the creation of user "mbse" and group "bbs" the install scipt 
(Run as root) generated a multitude of errors. Mostly related to directory and 
file creation. The the script ended indicating that the intsall had completed 
successfully. <sigh>  Sadly, I see no point in continuing the testing process.
