After all the discussion I tried to install staroffice 4 as well. I have a slightly out-of-date hamm. I tried installing the net installation all went ok. Then I tried installing it on my directory as a user. The first thing to note is that there is a huge duplication of files. The net installlation takes up about 110 Mb, the user about 88 Mb obviously muh is common between the two. As I did not know that and did not expect that I tried installing it on my home dir which has its own 500 Mb partition. As it took too much space I decided to delete all the stuff in /home/gk205/Office40 and start again by symlinking the /home dir to some other partition to avoid space problems. I deleteed everythinh and tried user installation again . It did not let me saying it was already installed. OK fair enought I delete everything from ./usre/local and reinstall the net installation from what I though was scratch. All is ok but when I try the user install it says it is already installed. I solved the problem by installing it as another user, copy all user files to my home staroofice dir , uninstalll staroffice as a user throught the installation program and reinstall. It was pretty convoluted. Anyway it now works and loooks quite good. Much better that staroffice 3.1
