Is there any reason why portsnap has to run as root? If you specify alternative ports dir and db dir using -p and - d, it should download and unpack stuff in home directory. Trouble us that it gets the tag, and starts fetching Metadata, but terminates with no message before it prints ..done. Not even a /n. Anyone know why before I start digging? Thanks, Frank.
