Re: StarOffice 4.0 *.deb
After all the discussion I tried to install staroffice 4 as well.
I have a slightly out-of-date hamm. I tried installing the net
installation all went ok. Then I tried installing it on my directory
as a user. The first thing to note is that there is a huge duplication of
files. The net installlation takes up about 110 Mb, the user about 88 Mb
obviously muh is common between the two. As I did not know that and did
not expect that I tried installing it on my home dir which has its own 500
Mb partition. As it took too much space I decided to delete all the stuff
in /home/gk205/Office40 and start again by symlinking the /home dir to
some other partition to avoid space problems. I deleteed everythinh and
tried user installation again . It did not let me saying it was already
installed. OK fair enought I delete everything from ./usre/local
and reinstall the net installation from what I though was scratch. All is
ok but when I try the
user install it says it is already installed.
I solved the problem by installing it as another user, copy all user files
to my home staroofice dir , uninstalll staroffice as a user throught
the installation program and reinstall. It was pretty convoluted. Anyway
it now works and loooks quite good. Much better that staroffice 3.1
