Re: Installing as non-root user

It's possible now, from memory: 1) oss part Call configure with --prefix=$HOME. Comment out the call to ldconfig in the Makefile (it would require root).

Re: Failed to get full access to drive?

The advice about CAP_SYS_RAWIO reveals that message as pretty outdated, I don't think anything uses capabilities for things like local device IO anymore.
