I was looking to edit a spreadsheet in StarOffice, so I downloaded it and proceeded to run the .bin file (after chmod +x of course). It brought up the KDE window for the first next to click, but everything was frozen. Mouse wouldn't move. Ctrl-Alt-Delete and Ctrl-Alt-Bksp did nothing. I couldn't even get my KVM switch to let me use another computer so I could see if this one would respond to pings. (KVM switch controlled by buttons on its front and Scroll Lock on keyboard - neither worked.) Installed the OpenOffice 6.0.5 rpm from the Mandrake 8 CD. No problems. CD'd to the /usr/lib/open... directory and then ran ./setup as per the RPM's instructions. Same full lockup, but this time the window was a couple of inches down and left from the desktop's corner. Has anyone else seen this kind of problem?
