Re: [LI] soffice installation

[Rajesh Fowkar <rfowkar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gandhi,

I had installed StarOffice 5.1 from a tar file.

All the things listed below to be done as root :
 
I untarred the file from the CD-ROM on which it was burnt using :

tar -xvf /mnt/cdrom/so_sun_51.tar.

It created a directory office51 and the I ran setup /net. Which
installed staroffice without any problems.

You may try to copy the entire office51 directory from the CD and
change the permissions of all the files to rwx:

chmod -r 777 Office51 and then run setup. I thing your problem is
only because of some lack of permission set on some files.

Hope this helps.

Rajesh
