Being able to run as a non-root user isn't important for catalyst's |
| 12 |
primary development goals, which are to facilitate Gentoo releases. |

You have a few options: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
#1. Run catalyst on your own box, not one where someone else is admin |
| 17 |
#2. VMware Server (it's free, you know) |
| 18 |
#3. hack catalyst locally |
| 19 |
#4. hire someone to do the work for you |
| 20 |
#5. bribe a catalyst developer to do it for you |
