Subject:   OpenOffice on a diskless workstation

After running through a stack of little pitfalls in trying to get a diskless 
client running from a 5-CURRENT server I'm down to the last nasty here.  
Hopefully someone might be able to help out.

OpenOffice apparently doesn't want to run across an NFS share unless a 
"link_relative" option is given in the exports file.

Sure enough, OpenOffice simply won't run from an NFS export on my diskless 
client.  Unless I can get this part of the equation playing this diskless 
client project is dead in the water for me.  OpenOffice is just too critical 
an app.

Is there some way to get a similar behavior to "link_relative" working?
Is there a better route to take with getting OpenOffice to work across NFS?

Thanks,
