The Star Office deb is an installer -- you need to d/l the code from the star office site. When i (re)installed star office in Jan, the debian package did not install the latest version. The latest free version appears is personal, and it appears that the user, not root, ought to install it.
cheers, judith, who cannot remember the star office URL at the moment -- Judith E. Bush [EMAIL PROTECTED] P O Box 7559 AOL IM judielaine Philadelphia PA 19101
