Hi.
I have just installed Mandriva 2007 on my 2nd HD and would like to install my Linux version of Star Office 8. I have the disc but no idea how to load this product. It's not in RPM format!
Help!
PS. You may ask why I do not use Open Office? - Well I have found from experience that it is not as good as Star Office i.e not as stable.
Thanks all.
Paul.
hi,
i had the same issue and i finnaly discovered that my cd-drive was unmounted.
please copy the content of the co on your desktop then run the setup programme.
elsewhere just follow the following procedure:
1.Login as normal user.
2.Open a terminal window.
3.Enable graphics display for the root user. As a normal user, enter the command:
xhost +
4.Switch to the Root user:
su -
5.Set the DISPLAY variable to point to the user's machine:
export DISPLAY=$HOSTNAME:0.0
(or enter the equivalent commands when using another shell than bash)
6.Change to the CD-ROM directory with the installation files:
cd /media/cdrom/linux/office8/
7.Start the setup script with the following command:
./setup
8.Follow the installation instructions.
9.When the installation is finished disable graphics remote display:
xhost -
hope this helps,
all the best_
