<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am trying to install hobbit in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux
4 server. I talked earlier with Red Hat and they say that they don’t
support rpm which are not downloaded from the Red Hat network.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Well, no problem, I prefer not to call them about it that
not to run hobbit since it is extremely useful for me.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Anyhow, I had installed it in a virtual machine running fc5
and it was quite easy to install. I am just starting as a Linux administrator,
and even I had administered Windows servers for years, the switch is not so
easy. I like Linux and I am quite excited to get the most of it, but sometimes
I stumble around, just like at this moment, so here go a couple of my silly
questions:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>For security reasons I should not run hobbit as root. I
understand that, but should I run the installation as root, or as hobbit?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Which would be the best folder for installation? I know this
is a bit more open, but I would like the server to be kept clean, so I don’t
want to spread the installation everywhere I want it to make sense.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I think with just a little bit more of info I would be able
to get a good installation going. Thanks in advance<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
