OK Anne - I'll try do write a twiki on Star Office, but it will have to wait a litte - to much work at the moment, you know. BTW : I already discovered an error in my guidance above : The command is - of course - *./setup -net* as root and *./setup* as user. (Because *setup* is not in the path, but issued from the current directory).
