Star Office

[Mike Starke]

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.

 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?
