	Given that the product itself is BETA and the installer most certainly 
is BETA, I'm not going to give out about it yet - though I certainly 
agree with you :-)  I install as root, then expect to be able to use it. 
I assume the requirement to run it once as root was some hackery to get 
around some other limitation. It may be fixed by now - and will 
certainly be fixed soon if not.

	Let's let the Mozilla guys get a 1.0 release of Firefox out the door 
before beginning the wah! ;-)

	Best regards,
