Hi there, Actually, you need to setup StarOffice with the /net option, so it would look like this: ./setup /net After this every user who has access to the directory where you installed the network version of StarOffice, just needs to do a normal ./setup to install a couple of megs into his/her homedir. See ya, Emerald Dunphy Richard-rdunph01 wrote:
There is no need to install a full copy of staroffice for every user.
If you install staroffice (as root) to a directory which is accessible by other users they need simply run the setup in the bin directory of the installation. In your case /progs/Soffice/bin/setup
It should then ask the user if they wish to do a full or workstation install. A workstation install typically uses 5-6Mb.
The user should rerun the same setup program to uninstall.
Well, this is how I did it with the CD version, not too sure about the one that comes with SuSE?
Hope it helps, RikD

Greeting all:
After installing StarOffice in /progs/SOffice/, I can run soffice as root. However, when I try to launch it as a regular user, it asked me to install it again. I did not want to do it because I don't want to have two copies of StarOffice. However, I am not sure if I can install it over the same directory /progs/Soffice.
I checked the permission of the /progs/Soffice and everyone is allowed to execute it. So what should I do? Do I have to install another copy for regular users? Does it happens to other programs as well? How can I install a program but everyone can use it but with their own personal setting?
Thanks for your help.

This is normal for star office. It's set up like that intentionaly for licensing reasons I beleive. Every user must have it's own install.
