Just a quik question, here. Why use StarOffice when Openoffice runs much
better? They're from the same people, sort of, and Openoffice never gives me
any problems. Am I missing something?

Absolutley! It's actually StarOffice without the desktop, browser, or Email
client. Which means it's a little faster, and a more conventional Office
Suite. Even handles M$ Office XP stuff! Current release is 641b (not a beta
version).

Just to rule a line under this - I have now successfully installed. The
problem was a couple of corrupt downloads. Sun have published checksums for
them on the news group for staroffice 6 beta, so I recommend that anyone
installing checks them after downloading. It seems that corruption -
chmod will get you the right syntax.
