I wonder which boxed set?  My Power Pack  has 5 CDs, and one is labelled "Applications" and on it is a folder labelled staroffice with a readme file and an RPM inside.  Kpackage will install it directly.

For setup, choose a single user install.  I believe the Network Option is for many users on a network who would need individual licenses, and it must be installed on the network server by the system administrator.  Try again as a Single User installation.

Try "soffice" (no quotes, of course).

While I'm at it, I have been having a problem with my StarOffice 5.1.  I
installed it using the /net switch.  After the GUI starts installing the
files, I get this error:

error:  invalid compressed (deflated) data for libsw516li.so

I retried a few times, but still the same error, so I chose to ignore it to
continue the installation.  Everything seemed fine after that, even doing
the user installation.  The problem comes when I start StarOffice.  The
program loads, but when I try to start a text document, I get some error
message about abnormal termination then it shuts down.  I can't give the
exact error there because I uninstalled the program.
Does anyone have any ideas?  Could this be a simple download corruption?
Thanks for any help.
