8 Well, no. Not from my part. It's fine when you use it, but I
9 definitely think it's not the right way.

11 What is missing in both bootstrap documents is this:
12 ./bootstrap-prefix.sh $EPREFIX startscript
13
14 It will do some magic and produce a script called `startprefix`. Simply
15 move it where you like (i.e. homedir?) and just run it:
16
17 % ./startprefix
18
19 e.g.:
20
21 (pegasus:~) fabian% echo $EDITOR
22 /usr/bin/vim
23 (pegasus:~) fabian% ./startprefix
