Nope. It says [root@borg SRPMS]# above! :)
Anyway, it doesn't really matter. After I manually
copied it to /home/vlad/src, install went okay. However,
the error I got trying to install it from CD directly
to /home/vlad/src was not supposed to happen. Would
you mind trying it on your box and see if you get the same
error?
