One nice thing about FGS is that it doesn't interfere with stuff
installed on the target system. All the stuff is stored in one directory
and is completely isolated. It means that you can install FGS in, for
example, /opt/fgs, run it to see if it works for you and if you don't
like it, you just remove /opt/fgs.
