Hey, was wondering if anyone could help me with starting StarOffice as a user rather
than root.
Starting simple I recently reinstalled Mandrake 7.0 onto my hard
drive. As root I installed StarOffice in /usr/local/office52 and
it works just fine. When I try and use StarOffice as another user,
however, I am unable. I tried to "repair installation" and I got
the error, "An error occurred while unpacking the file soffice.new.
There is probably not enough disk space" (which can't be right.)
I figured the problem is with user permissions and so I tried changing the user
permissions on a few folders and now when I click on staroffice the hard drive spins
for awhile and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Should I have installed
StarOffice in /opt instead as someone had advised me? My mistake is probably pretty
obvious to an experienced user, but I'm flummoxed. Ideas? Thanks.
