140 Untaring the libreoffice-core-&libreoffice-version;.2 tarball as
141 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> has the curious effect of
142 changing the ownership of the <emphasis>parent</emphasis> directory
143 to a user with numerical id 11012 and with the permissions set to allow
144 read, write and execute for that user only! If you untared as
145 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> in your home folder you
146 could end up unable to log in again :/ If you untared it in
147 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename> you would find your user
148 account unable to access any file in
149 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>.

158 untar as a user but has to be passed as an option when untaring as
