Hi, here is the message I sent previously about installing
StarOffice 5.2...I was glad I still had it. It is meant to be
installed by the user in a single user environment like mine.
I did not install it on a server for use by other machines.

Hi Wayne,
Here is the message I sent to Pedro, about StarOffice
when I downloaded it last night ... the chmod I understand
makes the file executable, the *bin file is correct, it is the
StarOffice 5.2 setup/install file and after you chmod, you
can execute it.:
I just downloaded the 97.xx meg file for StarOffice
overnight and installed it with no problems.
I registered when I downloaded and no serial number
is needed for the free version downloaded.
Are you having trouble installing it?
In case you are having trouble, you install it as user,
after chmod 777 <staroffice install file name>
as su or root.
>From there it is smooth sailing ... I had to create a
user accessible directory on my /root partition since
after downloading the file I didn't have enough space
to install it in the /home directory. I did this as su, then
chown the directory to username.group and chmod
the directory chmod 777 StarOffice (which was the
name of the directory) and off I went. Real bummer
too, I should have given a whole lot more room in
my /home partition and /root partitions...now I am
down to a measly just under 200 left on my /home
partition (after I delete the StarOffice install file) and
46megs now on /root partition. I sure home that will
be OK.
When I was prompted for registration in the program,
I checked that I had already registered when downloaded.
I hope that helps some.
