Go to http://www.sun.com/staroffice and get the staroffice version for linux. Put the tar.gz file in /usr/ports/distfiles the cd to /usr/ports/textproc and cd to the staroffice dir. Then do make and just follow the instructions. I use StarOffice to write docs, spreadsheets, powerpoint etc... and people refuse to believe that I wrote them on a Unix FreeBSD box. That is, if you want it for free. -Lanny On Fri, 28 Apr 2000, Danny wrote: > FreeBSD is a seperate OS compared to Corel Linux.
