ISTR that sound card and DNS support in StarOffice caused problems under some circumstances. Does that work OK for you? If so, is the local machine the name server? On the other hand, Linux emulation is important to us. If anybody can document a bug, I'm sure it'll get fixed pretty quickly. > I use kernel Linux emulation and not kernel module Linux emulation, FWIW. I don't think that makes any difference.
