[newbie] Window Maker

[kostas]

Hello list
I live in Greece so when i installed Mandrake 9.1 i chose Greek as
language. When i run Gnome and KDE i saw that it had Menus and all in
Greek. When i started Window Maker 0.8 (i think) it had the menu with
symbols. Do you know what must i do?
Do you suggest to me to install Mandrake 9.1 again with English?

Thanks

RE: [newbie] StarOffice as user

[Odysseas Kostas]

Hey, was wondering if anyone could help me with starting StarOffice as a user rather 
than root.  

Starting simple I recently reinstalled Mandrake 7.0 onto my hard 
drive.  As root I installed StarOffice in /usr/local/office52 and 
it works just fine.  When I try and use StarOffice as another user, 
however, I am unable.  I tried to "repair installation" and I got 
the error, "An error occurred while unpacking the file soffice.new. 
 There is probably not enough disk space" (which can't be right.) 
 I figured the problem is with user permissions and so I tried changing the user 
permissions on a few folders and now when I click on staroffice the hard drive spins 
for awhile and nothing happens.  What am I doing wrong?  Should I have installed 
StarOffice in /opt instead as someone had advised me?  My mistake is probably pretty 
obvious to an experienced user, but I'm flummoxed.  Ideas?  Thanks.
