I am a newbie, so I need a bit more clarification. First, I didn't "install under X" the first time (was that a mistake?). I run KDE. I assume that "install under X" means to run in a terminal (are KDE terminals and Xterminals the same? I assume so.) Was it wrong for me not to install in a terminal. (I think there should have been directions in the README if it is necessary to do so.) I do not NFS mount anything, so not to worry. I have a very simple setup. My network consists of a router for DSL access and my home computer. I am the only user and I have 3 accounts: root, and 2 user accounts. Do I need to a) make install as root (redoing the installation, but using a terminal) or b) do I need to make install (again) under a user account (which will be the account that will use staroffice)? If (a) then should I first make deinstall (since I will be redoing the install), and if (b) does this mean that each user account needs to do a make install (this doesn't seem logical)? Any other pointers/info that you can provide to make this go smoothly is greatly appreciated.
