On my box I have Star Office installed in my /opt/office52 directory. Doing this is easy : become root, go to the CD (or ftp-site), change directory to linux, cd to office52, cd to program. Verify the presence of the file "setup". Now, issue the command : ./setup /net (or ./setup -net) depending on the distro. This will install the whole kidoodle once and for all. Remove the install-media.
Then become a normal user. Go to the directory where you installed SO, and -once again- find the "setup" file. Run it (this time without the ./ things) and it will install about 1.5 MB in this users home directory. Repeat the procedure for every user on the system. Done and ready to use ! HTH Kaj Haulrich
