Re: [vox-tech] Re-assigning Partitions

I can speak for vmware, I purchased it a year ago and use it about every 
day. When you run the install script, it will default to /usr/local/bin, but you 
can change it to your hearts desire (without paying for it later ;-).

I think staroffice wants /opt but it's been several versions since I tried.
