It is easier for a single user to do the chroot ia32 system for running openoffice.org and other applications. But since you have 300 users it is worth your time to make openoffice.org work outside the chroot. You need a couple of symlinks. See this thread. http://lists.debian.org/debian-ia64/2003/03/msg00012.html But it works fine with the symlink in place. (Don't let the ia64 part throw you off. It has the same capabilities to run ia32 apps that amd64 has and can share best practices there.) With that change in place you should be able to roll that out to your users without needing to run the application from the chroot. (You probably still want the chroot to install and manage the software.) Bob
