Thank you, I didn't notice that!
Shouldn't then the "Freelance" mode be disabled by default in the 
instalator? What is more, the option is commented there as "(recommended)".
Does it mean that most people have some reason to install OpenAFS client 
without write support or am I missing something?
Thank you.
