Last time I tried you could install it as non-administrator. http://www.openoffice.org/docs/setup_guide/single_install.html (Looks old, but maybe still relevant) > nor cygqin > (because its can't go through a firewall that requires authentication). The cygwin installer allows you to separate the download and install parts. download at home to a temporary directory. Anstall at work (as a user). I don't believe that there's a popular enough free software that you cannot install as a non-admin user. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
