I followed the wiki but was unable to install from /home so I installed to /home/patricia which has led to this problem. [Download the latest new install snakeoil (currently 1.2.6.sh) and paste into the root of the “home” folder]
Hope you have everything sorted? Smile When people like me say "Home Directory", we usually mean /home/<user_name>, and in your case it will be /home/patricia. And that's where you have the right permissions. Reading your post, it made me realise people will take that as the /home directory.

Honestly it never occurred to me until you raise this matter in this thread. I don't think I have found the exact location for home directory, but I will clarify this better in the wiki.

It's this disconnect between IT people and general public that I find interesting. And it is this curiosity that inspires me to come up with the Snakeoil project. Granted I havn't spent as much time as I like on this project this days, but I always like to bridge that gap and make computers in general more assessible to the general public.
