Below is a basic HOWTO for setting up and running StarOffice 7.0

This only applies to installing and running StarOffice 7.0 on a Solaris-based Sun computer.

To setup StarOffice 7.0 for your use, execute the following command:

% /apps2/staroffice7/setup

This will take quite a long time (if you are running it on a slower computer) to start and finish. Please choose the most appropriate answers to the questions that are asked (leave the registration information window blank). Pick the "Workstation Installation" when asked. There is no need to register if you are asked to do so.

After this is complete, the setup will exit. Then to run StarOffice 7.0, enter the following command:

% /apps2/staroffice7/program/soffice

This is a work in progress, more will be added as time permits.
