I'd say RTFM, which you should do anyway, but the FM is pretty unclear on the subject.
For what most people would consider a "normal" application install -- application goes to shared space, is executable by all users -- you need to do what Sun calls a network installation: ./install /net The "standard" StarOffice installation *only* installs StarOffice for a single user. This is brain damaged. You'll get an additional installation session the first time each user runs the StarOffice executable, however this just installs the local-to-user components of the application.
