no i can run lw under root but who would want to? i did a successful touch into limewire directory. this is happening now on two different machines both running mdk 9.1 w/jre 1.4.2 when running under normal user i get to part where it asks me to pick a share directory and once i do it says error : lw was unable to use specified directory for saving files choose another. and whatever i choose im stuck on this error message. when running as root it remebers my settings fine. any ideas. when i was running lw 4.0.1 i was able to run w/o root privileges

ps- i checked and the lw directory is setup as root ownership w/rwx privileges for all groups. all the files in lw directoy are also root. the setup i have now was installed using the zip archive. i have the same trouble w/the rpm on other mandrake system. i was not able to install rpm as anything other than root. the zip i just unzipped to directory. i ran no installation script. i see a subdirectory for root in lw directory. should there be one for my regular user account?
