I've done this in 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2. Run the install as root
(so.whatever.bin /net) and put it in a central location (I use /opt/staroffice). Then
when a
user starts the program (/path/install_dir/program/soffice) it will run the
install script if necessary. The user should do a workstation install, which
requires less than 5MB diskspace.
I usually do two other things as root:
1. Create a script in /usr/local/bin that has a single command:
/opt/staroffice/program/soffice "$1"
That way the 'soffice' command is in a normal user's path.
2. Add a menu item to the Applications menu in GNOME that calls
StarOffice.
