Hi Dennis
Uninstallation of StarOffice 6.0 depends on the type of installation you
have previously run: either "Network User" or "Single User". Please
follow the steps below according to your particular StarOffice Installation:
A. Network User Installation
1. Make sure that you are logged-in as the user who installed the
program. In order to uninstall the User Installation, you will have to
start the StarOffice Setup program from the Network Installation
directory (e.g., "/opt/staroffice6.0/program/").
2. In the following Setup program window, select the option "Remove" and
continue with the further Setup program steps.
3. Steps "1" and "2" need to be repeated for each User Installation
installed under the Network Installation.
4. Make sure that you are logged-in as Root User. In order to uninstall
the Network Installation, you will have to start the Setup program from
the Network Installation directory (e. g.,
"/opt/staroffice6.0/program/"). In addition, you will need to use the
parameter "- net".
5. In the following Setup program window, select the option "Remove" and
continue with the further Setup program steps.
B. Single User Installation
1. Make sure that you are logged-in as the user who installed the
program. In order to uninstall StarOffice, you will have to run the
Setup program from the StarOffice directory (e.g.,
"/home/<username>/staroffice6.0/program/").
2. In the following Setup program window, choose the option "Remove" and
complete the further program steps.
Afterwards, you can reinstall StarOffice. If you are working on a
Solaris or Linux operating system, we generally recommend running the
Network User Installation.
Further detailed information about installing StarOffice can be found in
the "setup.pdf" file on the StarOffice CD-ROM, or on the Internet at the
following address:

I hope the above solution is helpful to you. If you have any problems
with the uninstallation, please let us know and we will try to assist
you further in the matter.
