If you have them in the same directory by themselves, you can just cd to that directory and type "urpmi *" (as root, no quotes). They won't interfere with OpenOffice at all and to be honest, I can't see any great advantage to StarOffice. Though, presumably, you are a "silver" club member as well, so you might as well have them! David -- "The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory." (Paul Fix)
