-Eagle needs to be run as "root" first, in order to have write access 
-to %%PREFIX%%/share/eagle to write a program key file.
+On the first run, eagle needs write access to the directory
+%%PREFIX%%/share/eagle5/bin
+in order to write a program key file. This can be done by executing
+eagle as root or temporarily allowing a normal user to write this
+directory (by suitable chown'ing).
 
-Once this has been done, you can delete the "eagle" directory in your 
-/root directory, which is created during the initially startup, and 
-run it as a normal user.
+Eagle usually creates an "eagle" directory in the user's home
+directory upon initial startup. If this user does no longer want to
+work on projects with eagle (e.g. the root account has been used to
+create the mentioned key file), this directory can safely be deleted.
