Star Office

[theclave]

I jus downloaded star office, it comes as a .bin file - what do I do with this?

You have to run it in Gnome or KDE. You have to decide which. I am still having difficulty linking it in Gnome after installing in KDE.

How exactly do I run it?

If you downloaded StarOffice as one file, issue a chmod 777 to set read, write, and execute permissions on the file. Then you just simply open up a terminal in KDE or Gnome and run the file to start installation. :)

Actually, you just need a window manager for X. Yes, just make sure that execute permission is on (you could also use "chmod +x file.bin" instead of 777). Also, read some of the documentation because there's few different ways to install it. One installs the entire thing for each user to each user's account. The other installs it so that each user has only a few small configuration files (I think you have to add the -net param).
