True. Any task likely to be performed as 'root' becomes a big deal. To be honest, it would be nice if 'make install' displayed a dialog which specifies the install locations of all the files to be installed and requests that I confirm it. Even then, there is the assumption that the install scripting does not have a bug. We are putting huge trust in 'make install'.
