1/ Because I try to test things
2/ because I need to see the effect of installing V3 as pfexec
3/ because this is what I do to install NetBeans+V2+V3 cobundle (both
pfexec and not pfexec all of them work with different user possibility
of course in terms of domain creation locations)
4/ I wanted to see how a sysadmin would install V3 for a regular user
(typical solaris system setups:-)
