Star Office

IIRC, you need to install it as root with the /net option; this will install
the software. 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.

This is off the top of my head--insert standard disclaimer here.

I just installed Star Office (5.1) <found a cd laying around>.
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 <star>
and did a 'chgrp -R star <directory_that_it_was_installed>'
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?
