For a multi-user installation of Star/Open Office, you have to start the setup application with the " /net " parameter, like this: ./setup /net then, install it wherever you want ( preferably somewhere inside /usr or something, let's assume you install it inside /usr/local/office ) then inside /usr/local/office you will find a setup binary. log in as each user and run it. from it you make the "local" installation for each user, ( creates personal configuration files and such, installed on their home directory, takes up a couple of MB's for each user. ) menu configs are independent. if you want to add entries to all three of them, it's done indivivually ( use menudrake to do it ) you will have to be root to install your office app, however to make the personal setting for the users you have to log them in... and, of course, this is the same for the menu settings. anything else... uhm.. well at least for me, OpenOffice 1.0 worked MUCH better than StarOffice 6... so that's what i would recommend. good luck.
