Some trouble with install (perhaps)

Hi, I put this on comp.text.tex, but it seems this list is the proper 
place to ask. So:

Somehow, working as root (simply su) and following the Quick Installs, 
all went well until I got to:

$ texconfig conf

I discovered I hand no texmf-local  in  /usr/local/teTeX/share even 
though one of the environment variables below is pointing toward it.

I also discovered .texmf-config and .texmf-var in /root, something I am 
not used to at all. I certainly see evidence of this in the environment 
variables that follow. As a result, I seem to duplicate formats and 
some other duplication:

[root@ps-114a-2k web2c]$locate tex.fmt
/root/.texmf-var/web2c/etex.fmt
/root/.texmf-var/web2c/latex.fmt
/root/.texmf-var/web2c/pdfetex.fmt
/root/.texmf-var/web2c/pdflatex.fmt
/root/.texmf-var/web2c/pdftex.fmt
/root/.texmf-var/web2c/tex.fmt
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c/etex.fmt
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c/latex.fmt
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c/pdfetex.fmt
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c/pdflatex.fmt
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex.fmt
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c/tex.fmt
/mnt/win/yandy/tex/latex/unpacked/latex.fmt
/mnt/win/yandy/yandytex/fmt/amstex.fmt
/mnt/win/yandy/yandytex/fmt/latex.fmt

And:

[root@ps-114a-2k web2c]$texhash
texhash: Updating /root/.texmf-config/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /root/.texmf-var/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/ls-R...

This, and the missing texmf-local has me worried I did something wrong.

Any ideas?
