Maybe that newer FreeBSD versions fall back to linux brand? I just installed SO 6.0 on my 4.7-Stable system (as of last Sunday). It went quite easy, here are the steps I took: xhost +localhost I'm logged in as normal user in X and install SO as root; root needs access to the display. mount /cdrom or wherever your favorite mount point is. cd /cdrom/linux/office60 ./setup -net to do a network install (see docs) Follow instructions. I installed in /usr/local/staroffice6.0 (the installer suggests /root/staroffice6.0 blaaah!!) After it completed I need a user install (workstation install in the docs), so as normal user: cd /usr/local/staroffice60 ./setup and again follow the instructions; choose for a workstation install. There even appeared an entry in my KDE menu :-). I don't know about the Java and Adabas stuff, I didn't install that. Oh yes, you need linprocfs mounted. See the Makefile in the Staroffice directory for the entry you need in /etc/fstab. And according to that same Makefile you need FreeBSD 4.5 or higher. > But congratulations...
