Linux is not like other OS . It's very very difficult to operate if
you have no
idea about unix envir.., KDE or GNOME GUI not able to slove or
make easy to operate
linux like windowz. Please learn HOWTO's and MAN pages. and some
good books of
linux or unix. First of all if you have windowz 95/97/98 , please
delete or remove
windowz from your computer. please follow this instruction to install
StarOffice :-
mount /mnt/cdrom
mc [midnight commander will appear]
/mnt
/cdrom
staroffice
staroffice 5.1 rpm
install
[ now installation begin,you see # like this appear]
start KDE
in console type:-
cd /opt/Office51/bin
./setup /net
[ staroffice setup screen will appear, now complete your setup]
go to your user account:
in console type again what you did in KDE root.
that's all.
if you face any problem please write.

 Hello, I'm absolutely new in Linux,
I don't have any idea yet, just
trying what this well-told OS can offer me. I've a CD with the SO 5.1,
but the only thing I can do is just clicking an icon labeled
"s051a_li_34.tar", but the system retrieves me "impossible to show
the
contents of the directory" or something similar. The only other icon
is
labeled "trans.tbl", and appears empty when clicked.
 Could you help me to install -step by step- this
application, or
maybe is it damaged?
 Anyway, could you recommend me a entry-level book
about Linux?
Thank yoy very much
