[newbie] Star Office

[H.G.Hettinger]

I recently installed Star Office but couldn't get it to work for me
unless I was in root.  So I decided to deinstall it and reinstall it in
the /usr directory instead of the root directory.  After deinstallation,
kde locked up so I did a ctrl-alt-backspace and went into the login
screen.  When I logged back in as user, all my settings were gone.  I
couldn't dial up and etc.  So I logged in as my wife to send this and
short of doing a complete reinstall of Mandrake 6.0 I thought I would as
you guys.  By the way, Star Office still works in root, so evidently I
didn't un-install it after all?  Thanks in advance for any help.
