Well, try the follwing: 1. Unpack the sp3 distribution 2. cd into the Install directory (where setup.bin is) 3. sed -e 's,/proc/%u/cmdline,/tmp/so40cmdline,' < setup.bin > setup.new 4. mv setup.new setup.bin 5. chmod 755 setup.bin 6. touch /tmp/so40cmdline 7. ./setup The install program should run and install StarOffice. Maybe I missed some step but this is closely what I have done. However, the installed thing doesn't run properly and consumes only cpu time but I hadn't had time to investigate this yet... -Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
