I don't like programs (on Unix) which say:
	log on as root
	install
and puts trace in /etc, /usr/bin, etc.

I also don't like the windows way of installing (in the msdos world
I always installed manually, now it seems impossible).

I would like the same thing with win95...instead of a bundled application,
I'd like to see the pieces (binary and source) and understand their
relationship to run, then install it manually.

This is desirable, because I may put components on a samba share, and do 
the whole installation from the unix side...
