"Why does the klik client install process ask for the root password?"
-----

Because the klik client needs to add entries into your /etc/fstab which will allow loopmounting of the klik *.cmg files (which are similar to compressed ISO image file systems, and need mounting to be accessed) with non-root privileges. It is a safe thing to allow.

If you have more questions about klik, here is a pretty good FAQ collection:

Thanks for the link, this FAQ is very useful. What I'm still confused by is that when I typed that command, I think there was some text on the screen about "respecting other people's privacy" or something like that... where did this come from? I don't see it in the install script...

The install script uses "sudo". And sudo produces this message. You can probably try to reproduce it on the commandline, by typing "sudo ls -l" in a konsole window....

I see... well, that's one (not so useful) fact I learned today. Thanks!
