Finally decided to install Star Office, and didn't expect any trouble
since I already have glibc 2 and others installed. But as it always is
with me and Linux, something goes wrong. :)
Anyway, I decompressed the tar file into /usr/src/so501/so501_inst/ like
usual, and invoked the setup script. That went fine, I picked the options
and put in the user information. When it's about to install, however, it
gives me the message window titled <Change Disk>, with the message of
"please insert Star Office 5.0."
I clicked Yes a couple of times to no avail and had to abort. Then I read
in the readme somewhere that I should run "setup" from
/cdrom/Office50/english/prod_lnx. So I moved all the files to that
directory and started again, with the same error.
Do I need to unzip all the f_#### files in the installation directory?
I tried that for a couple of the files but that didn't seem to change
anything. And I haven't found a way to decompress all those files at
once, unzip * did nothing.
Sorry for the long message. Hope someone'll read it. :) Well, thanks in
advance!
