However, I have another problem now which is probably a permissions problem. I can only run StarOffice by su. Should I change permissions on all the files or what? I installed it as root which was most likely the mistake on my part. Unfortunately, I was confused by reading the manual which was why I had the problem in the first place.

Hi, I do not know about the Redhat version of Staroffice, but if you do not have a java runtime installed, Staroffice still works. It just says that you would not have some java related support. hth Willem -- Willem van der Walt Information Services Directorate Department of Health South Africa tel: 27 12 3120700 ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: star office install from rh 7.2 cd
I found this link to download it. Maybe you should download it from here and ditch the version that came with RedHat. Sun purchased StarOffice and is making it available for free (see www.sun.com/staroffice). It is about 65M to download, so you might want to just send them the US$10 to send you a CDROM Another option is go to Best Buy and buy it then you get a users guide and cd. Not a bad investment when you can load it on all the computers you want and have a book to hand to anyone who has a question.

Re: star office install from rh 7.2 cd
I could not find the setup file either, but after playing around, and clicking on things, I found that when I clicked on /mnt/cdrom/english/so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin The setup started. No chmod or anything. I was logged in as root. Just my exsperience .

Re: star office install from rh 7.2 cd
Hello, I once had a simelar problem. mount the cd by hand. umount /mnt/cdrom mount -tiso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom Do ls and look if the setup file is there. If not, there should be a directory like Linux. cd to that directory and ls there to look for setup. If it is there, do ./setup from there. regards, Willem On Sat, 9 Mar 2002, doug piper wrote: > My RH 7.2 box set came with Star Office on a sparate cd.

Re: star office install from rh 7.2 cd
I assumed that the setup script would be on the CD and would be a script specific to Star Office but I obviously am not sure.

Re: star office install from rh 7.2 cd
I installed from a star office cd not from RH separte cd so this may not apply. Logon as root in Xwindows and mount cdrom cd /cdrom/linux/Office52 ./setup -net Then as a user you logon in x windows in console window cd to directory where Office52 is installed cd to Ofice52/program ./setup When you typed ./setup were you in the directory that had the setup command?

star office install from rh 7.2 cd
My RH 7.2 box set came with Star Office on a sparate cd. I read the pdf file on installation which says to do ./setup with no results except no such file. There is some mention on Sun's site of having to chmod to 777 to install this and I am still at 755. However, I don't think the script is on the CD. So how do I install Star Office?
