And it is more of a packaging issue than a program problem.  If you install from 
the sourceforge code you get your choice of locations.  If you use a packaged 
version someone else has made this choice for you.   Since you normally want the 
archive on its own disk anyway, the simple approach would be to mount it at the 
package TopDir location before installing the package, but if it is your first 
install you probably won't know that yet.
