The files are for user "bobg." Neither computer has ever been booted to 
root. Obviously there are many things that must be done as "su." I don't 
think the OO install is one of them. Both systems were originally 
installed from the Omega live cd but I don't recall if OO comes with it 
or not. But I have had to install a lot of other app's and have had no 
such trouble.
