An improvement, perhaps, but still...  my thinking is that somebody who 
doesn't (already) know they can't create /sbbs without being root isn't 
going to know how to do the "run as root" that you added.  They don't 
know *how* to run that command as root.

Would it be better to first instruct them to "su" to root, or to preface 
the commands with "sudo"?  The example prompts ('$') might need to be 
changed to '#' also...?  Just my (unrequested) input.  ;-)



... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
