Well, it got really frustrating after that. It dropped stuff in at least three different directories, and then I had to track down where its config files live, which config happens to contain what, and so on. I changed the data directory, but the new data directory was not "formatted" or something, so I got a hand-wavy error message that naturally said nothing about formatting the new data directory, and so on. All in all, it was a painful experience.
