Right offhand it's not apparent to me that either of these can be said
to be "right" or "wrong".  You are making different assumptions about
the installation directory and user name than what is in the
documentation, but your assumptions aren't more right than the docs'.
As stated there, the examples use generic choices that may need to be
adjusted for particular systems.
