Thank you. Both you, and the other gentleman that had responded reminded me that I should get out of my bad habit of NOT consulting readme's first.

Then, as a mortal user, you run the setup program *from the installed StarOffice bin dir*, and this will copy about 2MB of files to the user's home dir that are needed to run the software.

I first installed it as root under /usr/local and could only run it as root. I then installed it as a user, under another directory, and could run it only as that user. I added all users to a commmon group and did a 'chgrp -R star ' Still no luck. Did I miss something? Or can I only run this as the user it was installed under? Hmmmmm. Maybe my cold has effected something here? -- V/R Mike Starke mstarke@mobl.com public key "http://www.neta.com/~mgcon/downloads/mstarke_public.txt" chgrp -R USMC /home/* ________________________________________________ See http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/navigator-mail.shtml if your mail doesn't post to the list quickly and you use Netscape to write mail.
