beeing on the root-partition has nothing to do with admin privileges.
There is also the problem that, on reinstallation, the /opt folder (and any configurations or modifications) will necessarily be overwritten. I would like to prevent /opt from being overwritten, just as I do with my /home folder.
Put the things _you_ put in /opt/ instead in /usr/local/, make /usr/local/ a separate filesystem, and you needn't have that problem, unless maybe you're an AntiX user. The only things in /opt/ on my systems are things the package manager decides belong there, typically printer drivers, KDE3, or LO.
