SUMMARY: _Network_ installation of StarOffice 5.2

From: David Perel (davidp@oak.njit.edu)

Problem: stated below

Fix: run

        <path.to.staroffice>/so-5_2-ga-bin-solsparc-en.bin -net

     This creates the network installation -- users run
     <path.to.staroffice>/program/setup for single-user installation.

The problem had been previously mentioned in:

} I'm trying to do a _network_ installation of StarOffice 5.2 in a
} Solaris Sparc 5.6 environment, using the downloaded executable
} "so-5_2-ga-bin-solsparc-en.bin" from http://www.sun.com/staroffice . The
} installation is done by running so-5_2-ga-bin-solsparc-en.bin, and the
} resultant installation is a "Single User Installation", not a network
} installation -- there is _no_ opportunity during the install to make
} it a network installation.
}
} In StarOffice 5.1, the network installation is done by running
} "<path.to.staroffice>/setup /net" (or -net, depending on the doc),
} but with 5.2 you don't have the script "setup" until _after_ you
} run so-5_2-ga-bin-solsparc-en.bin, and by then it's too late:
} "setup /net" at that point will not do the network installation.
}
} I've checked the StarOffice and Sun managers FAQ -- no help there.
}
} Any help will be appreciated.
