Thanks. I figured as much, but wanted a second opinion. :-)
Also, someone suggested to me that running setup again would offer an
option to uninstall the software. I tried running the .bin file that was
downloaded, but never got such an option. I just now tried (as root),
going to the /usr/local/office52/program directory and then ran
"./setup /net" (since I had orignally set it up with the /net option).
This time, it *did* offer me that option.
Running it without the /net part did not get such an offer - it just
offered to install the "local" files needed to use the system-wide
installation for me as the root user (I presume it will set up the files
uner /root that are needed for me to run the packages if logged in as
root).
The above is just information, so that the next time someone asks the
question, anyone who cares to answer will know to tell them that they need
to run the setup program from the program directory where they installed it
(and with the same option switch, it would seem), and not the .bin file
they downloaded. :-)
