Linux installer question

Hi,

to install/update calibre I use the python line from the webpage:

sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"

It always asks where to install calibre. Is there some environment variable I can set or some parameter I can give it, to stop asking?
It didn't look like it in the linux_installer file...

Why do I ask?
I installed calibre to /opt.
When I updated today I almost typed rubbish in the path request, as I thought a different window was active.

Thanks
Sven

You should be able to write a small wrapper script using expect to launch the installer and feed it the path.

man expect

Thank you very much!
Not just for this question, but for calibre in general! It is truly an incredible product.
