hi sergio,
thank you for your answer

you mean you ran the so52-..-xx.bin file, right?

uhm, i'm almost sure i've never found those 2 files you mention ..
but i'll check it.

this is my problem .. how do i do this? the so52-..-xx.bin file doesn't
accept switch .. and after it's done, the setup script will not allow me
to use the net switch. how do you do this? using the bin file or the
script?
i have the impression we don't have the same staroffice archive .. where
did you get yours?
I think I've installed the so52 bin file you have. I used the /net
switch and it installed fine.
It defaulted to root's home directory. I changed this to the dir I
installed so51 in.
example:
so51:
o - /usr/local/Office51
so52:
o - set to install in /usr/local
o - install created subdir and installed in:
o - /usr/local/office52
o - (note case difference)

i hope so. the procedure you outline is exactly the procedure i followed
with
so51. but i can't do that with so52
i hope you don't mind if i cc the list, just in case somebody is interested
in this
problem.
thanks for your help

Upon install goto the /usr/local/office52/program (the program dir under
where you installed office52) and run : ./setup
as a user rather than the root account (unless you are setting up the so
called 'workstation' for the root user as well, of course)
This will detect your Office51 install and upgrade blah blah....
I am replying from the digest and am rather a few days behind so I
appologize if the question has been answered already. If not then I
hope I helped.
Feel free to email me or reply to this list if I was not as clear as I
hoped to be,
