Hi
When I untar sage as root not all files are owned
as root. (This is after running make as root, but still)
It's unwise to use the root account for anything where it is not needed. The
chance of you accidentally screwing up your system is much higher if you use the
root account unnecessarily.
It's much better to use su, sudo of pfexec to get root privileges when you
actually need it, rather than use the privileged account unnecessarily.
