No, you didn't miss something. I forgot to mention, that eric3 wants to 
generate/modify the file sitecustomize.py on the very first installation. 
Therefore this very first installation must be done as root. Therafter, you 
can install as a normal user to whatever directory you like as long as you 
have write privileges.
