I have all icons on the desktop but traced back to soffice(/usr/soffice) that its link is broken, and when I looked at its linked equivalent, the staroffice7 directory is not there (/usr/staroffice7/..). This is the first time I have installed this version of the Solaris, previous one, 11/06, did not have this problem. The only difference was that I ordered free DVDs for 11/06 and downloaded the 8/07version and burned myself. So i thought it was my wrong doing but I can see the package you have mentioned. Can I run postinstall script, now? Thank you again.
Where I can learn about those things, without trying to guess or go to a forum or expensive courses.? I LOVE Solaris, it is such a cool OS but it is not easy to understand. For example the networking, I can get to work through DHCP but I wanted to have static name and IP address and be able to talk to other windows Pcs and MAC10.9. David
