 VC> What official release  ?

 VC> What, where, when !

 VC> For many years I have been installing mbse at /home/mbse using
 VC> ./configure --prefix=/home/mbse followed by a modified version of
 VC> SETUP.sh where all instances of /opt replaced by /home.

 VC> No issues what so ever.

 VC> Why do I use /home?

 VC> Because I have different distros or just different versions of a

 VC> directories of more than 16Gb when ever I have to test a new distro

 VC> Michael had no issues with me and others doing so and DID OFFER FULL

 VC> So what's your problem ?

mkdir /opt/mbse;mount -o bind /home/mbse /opt/mbse
