If that's not what you want, back up that directory before running mla*.run as root and then recover it as neede= d. This was found when running the installer as "root" in a clean chroot env. So far, nothing else changed. This time. WHEN will people stop asking installers to run as root? We can chroot as mu= ch=20 as you like, but we prefer not to?
