Am I reading this correct?  What Bobby is asking is how to install to
a users account as in that users' /home' account and installed by that
user instead of being installed by root and thus, being accessible to
'all' users.  If this is the case I have to ask why?  The same amount
of disk space is taken up after all.  The only reason I could see for
this happening would be if root refused to install (assuming a
different owner or root user).

Or have I misread it?  :-)
