This is from SUN:
http://www.sun.com/products/staroffice/5.2/download.html
It will be necessary for a chmod command to be executed to set read, write, and
execute permission.
For example:
% chmod 777 *.bin
Once you have set the permissions, you can run the setup, and StarOffice 5.2 will do
the rest.
--
to run the setup do this (command line):
./so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin
