[CLUE-Tech] starting openoffice from the command line

[Hani Duwaik]

I seem to remember to remember a time when each user who ran OpenOffice
for the first time automatically had to run the setup.

Does the install screen come up if/when you try to run ooffice from the
command line as root?

Just a thought.
