Did you install Star Office with the /net switch? That is, did you run
the installer from the command line, like this:
# so-6_0-beta-bin-linux-en.bin /net
Using the /net switch will setup Star Office in "network" mode, so that
each user may then have their own personal configuration of Star Office.
You may then run Star Office from the link in the staroffice6.0/
directory, which resides in your home directory.
Star Office tries to create menu items in your KDE menu, however because
Mandrake uses a special menu system, Star Office menu items will not
appear -- you need to create them yourself, with Mandrake's menu editor.
I should mention that in Gnome, a Star Office sub-menu with several
items did appear, under the "Favorites" menu (which is part of Gnome,
and not related to the special Mandrake menu system).
