[GRASSLIST:6015] [Q] Long path for DATABASE

Maybe a trivial question, but I can't find the answer
from the web site.
How can I put in a very long path to DATABASE
in the first setup window of GRASS?
Thanks in advance.

You can't; the interactive startup imposes a 50-character limit upon
the database directory.

However, you can avoid that limit by using the non-interactive
startup, i.e.

  grass5 /path/to/database/location/mapset
