No. Though copyring the file(s) to a hard disk sounds good.
Related issue. Use the /net option to setup to run a network
installation, rather than a single-user installation, of StarOffice. By
default, Sun expects you to want to create a single-user installation of
their product, which many people consider to be broken. This is
documented in the installation instructions, though it's rather buried.
Run the network installation as root and park your files under
/usr/local or /opt (I symlink /opt to /usr/local).
