In 5.1 you would install the application for a user by
logging in as that user and from $HOME type the location
you installed the StarOffice installation files
$OFFICE51/install ./net
That then installs some necessary files for the user, but
gives access to the application as a networked environment.
You shouldnt have to muck about with changing ownerships
because that will cause you problems later if you start
using StarBase (from my own experience anyway).
