-When installing MS Office on a Samba drive for which you have admin
-user permissions, ie. admin users = username, you will find the
-setup program unable to complete the installation.
-</p><p>
-To get around this problem, do the installation without admin user
-permissions The problem is that MS Office Setup checks that a file is
-rdonly by trying to open it for writing.
-</p><p>
-Admin users can always open a file for writing, as they run as root.
-You just have to install as a non-admin user and then use "chown -R"
-to fix the owner.

-Microsoft Office products can be installed as an administrative installation
-from which the application can either be run off the administratively installed
-product that resides on a shared resource, or from which that product can be
-installed onto workstation clients.
-</p><p>
-The general mechanism for implementing an adminstrative installation involves
-running <b class="command">X:\setup /A</b>, where X is the drive letter of either CDROM or floppy.
-</p><p>
-This installation process will NOT install the product for use per se, but
-rather results in unpacking of the compressed distribution files into a target
-shared folder. For this process you need write privilidge to the share and it
-is desirable to enable file locking and share mode operation during this
-process.
-</p><p>
-Subsequent installation of MS Office from this share will FAIL unless certain
-precautions are taken. This failure will be caused by share mode operation
-which will prevent the MS Office installation process from re-opening various
-dynamic link library files and will cause sporadic file not found problems.
-</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
-As soon as the administrative installation (unpacking) has completed
-set the following parameters on the share containing it:
-</p><pre class="programlisting">
-[MSOP95]
- path = /where_you_put_it
- comment = Your comment
- volume = "The_CD_ROM_Label"
- read only = yes
- available = yes
- share modes = no
- locking = no
- browseable = yes
- public = yes
-</pre></li><li><p>Now you are ready to run the setup program from the Microsoft Windows
-workstation as follows: <b class="command">\\"Server_Name"\MSOP95\msoffice\setup</b>
