System-wide upgrades are likely to cause some problems anyway but here is the method for SO 6.0 so that you can run it afterward.... It is not an upgrade artifact in this case but an improper installation.
1. Uninstall SO6 2. Look for two files named .sversionrc and .user60.rdb (note the leading dots!) and delete them if you find them (I found them in my home path) 3. In an xterm window, log in as root (su) 4. urpmi staroffice-en 5. /usr/lib/office60_en/setup to start the setup script 6. select the local (>200MB) installation. Change the path for this installation to /opt/staroffice6.0 7. complete the installation (btw, if you don't have a Java runtime environment installed, you can do so by clicking the INSTALL button on the JRE screen) 8. exit 9. execute the setup script again as a local user, and this time select workstation installation. If you do not activate it exactly this way, you will have permissions problems with saving backup files and such. Please not that you can login as another user and run the setup script (just click the menu button for Staroffice writer) to set it up as another workstation installation for that user. Civileme
