->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.</P

->4.2. How to use a Samba share as an administrative share for MS Office, etc.</A
-></H1
-><P
->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

-><P
->As soon as the administrative installation (unpacking) has completed
-set the following parameters on the share containing it:</P
