as sridhar pointed out .. the normal install will only be for the user who installed it. ie. if user foo installs it .. only he nor root nor any other user will be able to access it. to allow all users to use star office.. u will have to do it from root.. if i remember correctly su wont work coz u will be using the user's home dir. to enable other users u will have to read the documentation. plus, i believe the open source version www.openoffice.org has put the options u r looking for in the setup. it is now at v6.28 (i think) enjoy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sridhar Dhanapalan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2001 3:19 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Staroffice 5.2 and M8 > On Wed, 19 Sep 2001 17:15:11 +0000, Stewart Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > Hi All > > > > I have a problem that is driving me mad.I tried installing StarOffice 5.2 > > whilst logged in as root.
