Re: [newbie] StarOffice won't install on mandrake6.0
Hi, Don I've found your mail regarding the installation of Staroffice, in which you admit to have successfully installed the aforasaid software. Can you please provide me with a step-by-step guide of what you've for that installation to be successfull. I've got Mandrake6.0 and it keeps complaining about the libraries files not being existent. Thanks in advance. Bernardo
Re: [newbie] StarOffice won't install on mandrake6.0
just download version 5.1 from the staroffice website and install it - and ignore the warnings about missing libraries (keep installing).

Thanks in advance. Bernardo Hi Bernardo, just 2 weeks ago I installed mandrake 6.0 and then I wanted to give SO 5.1 a try. After downloading and untarring I started the installation script (as user) and saw a lot of warning abouts several libs not beeing found on my system. But it also said, that I may proceed with the installation and have a good chance that it would work anyway. So did I and -surprise- it worked without any problems or complaints since that very moment. It takes some time to start on my pc (P133, 64MB RAM) but when it's up and running, it is ok. So I recommend you just to go ahead - you can't ruin anything and most probably it works! Bye, Willy

Something that resumes at the point where the connection was broken? Sure, try wget, which you should have installed already if you're using M6. It's a console program, so type 'man wget' to see instructions on how to use it. Also, if you're using KDE, there's a nice download manager called Caitoo which you can get at http://devel-home.kde.org/kget/ --- Don Kelley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: just download version 5.1 from the staroffice website and install it - and ignore the warnings about missing libraries (keep installing). _ Do You Yahoo!?

Don, I tried that and ended back at the prompt without it installing. Any other ideas?

Hello Bernhard, many millions of thanks for your reply. I guess I tossed away $50. Well, so much for that. Anyway, Venus is really a winner. I am not a computer tech, so its ease of use is a real help to me. Thanks a million for coming up with something that, on the desktop, makes windoze look sick and creaky and old. adios, Steve Winston --- Bernhard Rosenkraenzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, 19 Jun 1999, Steve Winston wrote: Has anyone installed StarOffice 5.0 on Mandrake 6.0?
