The network install works just fine as a multi-user.
As root, install staroffice by
./setup /net
and put it someplace shared like /opt/StarOffice51
Any user that wants to run it then needs to run
/opt/StarOffice51/bin/setup
the first time they use it and do a workstation install. This will put ~2
megs in their home directory.
They then start star office by running ~/StarOffice51/bin/soffice (or
wherever in their home directory they did the workstation install of Star
Office). This will work whether it's over the network or whether it's just
locally multi-user.
later,
