I just got package management to work for the first time, so, I've got
a couple of questions.

1. When I try to install an application from a .pkg file, it doesn't
work presumably because it's trying to write to /boot/home/config.
What's the work-around? Can we perhaps change the package installer
app to write to /boot/home/config/non-packaged instead?
2. Does the package manager provide a means for requiring the user to
agree to a license as a pre-requisite for installing a package? I'm
thinking to create a package to install MS Web Fonts, but, to install
them you must first agree to an EULA.
3. Now that /boot/common/ is gone, /boot/system/ is where software for
all users is intended to go, but, creating a folder or writing
anything in there causes Tracker to throw up a nasty warning dialog,
can we relax that a bit?
