In rpmdrake select Configuration, Add location of packages CDROM (suggested
name is extra). It will look on the CD with the StarOffice rpm (you did
put it in the drive didn't you?) and adds it to the list of installable
packages. You can find it in (I seem to remember)
Applications/Publishing/Word Processor. Select the StarOffice rpm and
press install. When this is done, go to /opt/Office51/install-kde and run
this. Voila! (I had to do it several times, eventually creating a bigger
EXT2-formatted partition as it kept telling me there wasn't enough room.
Never did find out how to analyse the space...... DU seems to tell you
what's using it, but not how much is free.........
