In-Reply-To: <19991121214059.B10297@supra.rotterdam.luna.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've heard that you can do the install with a uniprocessor kernel and then run with a SMP kernel without problems. Unfortunately, that hasn't worked for me. I guess another alternative is to go buy the Applixware CD from freebsdmall.com. That's what I plan to do. As long as I know it won't suffer from the same SMP-related issues as StarOffice. I don't know who could confirm it'll be fine, but I'd like to hear from someone. Over and out.
