Server on Linux...

Hi,

could you please correct the wrong paths in the .location-files for FLAC and FFMPEG, in the next release?
On Linux, there will never be a C:\ ... :-) In the current RC6 the paths are still incorrect.

When started as "root" the "twonkymedia"-dir should not be created in / ... the setup should ask for a location.
The .tv6-file is useless ... when you start the twonkyserver as a "user", there is no write-access to this dir

It should be possible to run the server with a dedicated user as as "twonkysrv" - the setup should ask about that, too
Services running as "root" bother me...
