You have 2 possibilities: Mount the Cdrom with exec-rights, or: cd /mnt/cdrom /bin/sh ./setup /net You should use the /net Option, and install in /usr/local or preferably in /opt, so any user can use Staroffice afterwhile.

Re: [expert] troubles with star office
Jamesthat exact same thing happened to me back before Star was owned by Sun, version 5.0, I believe. Anyway, what I did to circumvent the problem was to copy the installation directory and its entire contents to my hard drive. When I ran ./setup from my own hard drive I no longer got the error and Star Office installed just fine.

Re: [expert] troubles with star office
I got it off a magazine coverdisk - untarred it to /home/mine/so (can be deleted after) & ran setup from there.

Re: [expert] troubles with star office
I seem to remember having the same problem w/ the CD I got from Comdex. The way I got around it was to copy the contents of the CD to harddisk and then chmod 755 the setup program. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't run it directly from the CD either. Chris James Sparenberg wrote: > > All, > I've got a box with Mandrake 7.1 that I'm trying to install Star Office > on.

Re: [expert] troubles with star office
It sounds like setup is trying to write back to the CD. Move all the StarOffice files to the hard drive. Are you doing a net install or a single user install?

[expert] troubles with star office
All, I've got a box with Mandrake 7.1 that I'm trying to install Star Office on. But I've run into the following problem. It seems that whenever I type the ./setup command after going into the directory on the cdrom it keeps giving me a Permission denied error. I've checked permissions and they are read execute. I'm logged into kde as root. (I've also done a ctrl/alt/f3 and tried it from the command line logged in as root) and I get the same permission denied error. No other errors are present. Since I can navigate to the directory on the cdrom I know it's mounted and I've checked permissions up the chain and they are all in line. In short I'm having trouble finding any difference between this box and another one that I have already installed Star Office on. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time.
