I think that you will have to do the client side instalation for each
machine on which you want to have StarOffice available. At least it
makes sense to me. I think that maybe the net install onto the NFS
system is intended as a "server" while the instalation on each client
machine would of course be the client application. I know this is
probably not much help, but I only have one machine, so I do not have
any experience with the network installation for StarOffice. Good
luck, maybe someone else can be of greater assistance,
