RE: [SLE] Only root can start StarOffice
Yes, I know what's up. You installed it as root in non-networked mode. So the files belong to root and you would have to do a seperate install for each user. If you are the only user on the box then just do this.
Strange... do I have to install in networked-mode even if the installation is done on a stand-alone machine?
In your /root directory rm the file called .sversionrc. The remove the directory that you installed StarOffice into..after this you can install it as yourself (user) and I would suggest (depending on the space you have) to put it in your home directory or in a pre-made directory you own. You could (as root) make a directory called /usr/local/office52 then do this (as root):
chown yourusername.users /usr/local/office52 -R
I've been told that I should ise the -net switch for it to work. I will try it as soon as I get back home... someday if I finish my job here :-p Thanks, Martin

It's like Netscape or any other program. Netscape is in /opt/netscape and a small amount of files are in your .netscape .. same thing really.

Yes. The name is a bit misleading. It "realy" is "multi user access" mode. The idea might be that /opt/office is a shared network ressource. The explanation is probably in the small print. ;-) Juergen -- =========================================== __ _ Juergen Braukmann juergen.braukmann@gmx.de| -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb@db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu | /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ===========================================_\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
