If you run the StarOffice setup with the /net flag, you'll only have to install a couple of megs worth of data into each user's home directory (i.e. not the whole suite). -- Sridhar Dhanapalan I think that throttling writers is fine and good, but as it stands now, the dirty buffer balancing will throttle anybody, not just the writer. -- Linus Torvalds Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Robin I'm sorry, but on this matter I must disagree completely with you, Robin ! 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 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
