> Is there an installer for StarOffice 4.0? no :) ANd there's not likely to be one. A few have started work on it, but there's somehting tricky about it. And 5.0 is just around the corner, so why bother? But i've had no problems using it's own installer; just tell it you want to use /usr/local/Office40. I also use an alias of so ~/Office40/bin/soffice & to launch it; you launch from the file the installer puts in your home directory. rick --
