Download the *.tar file
I couldn't get "un"tar in KDE for some reason.
In Gnome at file browser find *.tar file, double click
find "so51inst" folder in the directory you found the *.tar
find the "documentation" folder, it has a *.pdf file in it
double click on the PDF file from file browser
open a terminal
follow the installation directions step-by-step
works without a hitch.......
The PDF file is in plain English and has screenshots. I did a Network
install with 2 separate users as well and I found no complications
except one.
After install is complete. Reboot.. Use KAppFinder... it will justify
your menu for you. I had to drag and drop an Icon and link to the
executable file name. The installation doesn't do this for you. But for
some reason StarOffice is a bit confused between Gnome/KDE
installations. I found StarOffice in the Gnome section of the main
menu. Or you can drag and drop an icon from the file browser found in
/?/Office51/bin/ /?/being the directory of your user home.
