I installed to /home/user.  Then I pointed the desktop icon at it.
Later on I removed the older installation of !OOooOO!  You might have
to look at permissions for LTSP.  It can be a bit strange at times.
/home/user is a good place for serving up applications to the
inside/outside network.

I keep all my stored documents somewhere else and point OOooOO at it
after installation.  Tools > Configure.

Thanks
