Tor gives me the warning that I am operating in root and do not need to be. How can I not operate in root? Thanks

Pemasu have several puppies with fido in it. SnowPuppy Polarpup, Ice puppy, and others. Look up his user name and see what he writes about.I just let fido to be as choice. I am sorry, I wont meddle with fido at all. The usage as fido is on your own responsible. To accecpt to save as fido and use distro as fido, you do it on your own. You can of course read all the threads, posts, Barry`s blog about it but I just implement it as woof offers. I will update it through woof but nothing else.
You can also report about fido usage and problems encountered, but please, do that in some other thread. If this thread will become polluted of fido problems, I will delete the whole possibility from next distro. It is easy to do.
For me, Root forever and that`s it.

That looked awful familiar to me.. because I eventually came up with that exact code quite awhile back! One can completely avoid .pets or .sfs's this way.. and the tor bundle neatly lives in its own directory/subdirs without storing anything outside.. so I haveMinHundHettePerro wrote: If you install your tor browser (I suppose it's the tor browser bundle) in /root/spot, and then in a terminal in that directory change ownership of the tor browser-files by running, you can then start your tor browser as restricted user spot by, for example, issuing (in /root/spot)Code: Select all
