You are dead on right and correct, except I'm scared to death that I 
might not set that correctly and wipe out my /opt partition by an 
accidental format. No sir, I won't get near it during install time. I 
have to make a trip to the bathroom before I can click "next" to start 
the final process. Suppose some dev mucked up and the installer formats 
it anyway? "I'm sorry" won't cut it. As Mulder says "Trust no one."
