Not really. It is now in HTML :(

I  still  don't believe that you are running installations under root,
because "pear config-show -c horde" should return:

User Configuration File        Filename         /root/.pearrc

But in your case it returns:

User Configuration File        Filename         /home/brian/.pearrc

Yes, in .pearrc.
