Did you install 638c? I can only get mine to work as root. I did 'setup -net' as root, which worked fine. But when I executed 'setup' as a normal user, I get a large white Window that takes up the entire screen, instead of the installation dialog. I'm not sure what's going on with that. I downloaded the StarOffice 6.0 beta to see if that would be any different, but haven't tried it yet (been working on compiling gnucahs from CVS). I'm starting to think I might have permissions issues in my $HOME directory. I changed permissions on it, based on what I read when setting up my webserver, and I think it's causing problems with the install program. I also seem to be having problems with KDE settings that could be related. Currently, my home dir has drwx--x--x permissions. The other users have drwxrwsr-x. I'll chmod 2775 my home dir and see what happens...
