I could install it out of the box (except for one tiny issue, caused >by a bug in the installer itself, at least that's what I think of it :-). FWIW, I installed it onto a virgin 3.2-RELEASE system along with a bunch of other stuff, and while it took me some fiddling to get it going (as in realizing I had to run "linux" and figuring out the Byzantine user installation stuff), it seems to work OK (I have no experience with that kind of thing--my native language is vi and troff--so I'm not in much of a position to really exercise it). BTW, what would be the best kind of overview/introductory text to use to get users going with StarOffice? (I wouldn't even mind that much if it were in German.) -Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
