[ale] StarOffice 5.2 is driving me crazy!

[Douglas Bridges]

You need to install it first with the /net option. After you have installed
it in a common directory (I use /usr/local/office52), each user has to run a
mini-installation. Each user should run the setup program
(/usr/local/office52/programs/setup), and Star Office will install some
personalization stuff in the local directory.
