Well basically SO 4.0sp3 does not work with FreeBSD as it stands (as far
as I know). It will just core dump when you run the setup program. I think
it's because it requires more up-to-date linux libs than is
installable with FreeBSD, but I'm not 100% sure on this.
Have you tried SO3.1? I installed it, and it works fine. Feature set looks
quite comparable or superior to any M$ product. Don't think that just
because it's not the latest version that it's not good. I still use MS
Word 5.1a when I have to use it at all. :)
