It can't do a "straightforward" install because Linux is a multi-user, networked OS. Star Office is appropriately designed for installation in such an environment. As a result, properly designed programs seem a little "strange" in a home desktop environment. However, many apps are not designed to live in a multi-user networked environment (like Netscape which needs to be heavily customized to behave well on a network) and present problems to the sysadmin like inappropriate permissions, wasted disk space for redundant files, unnecessary use of bandwidth for eye-candy, and so on. El Dom's advice is appropriate for you and probably every exclusive single-user installation of SO. Hoyt
