As long as you have Java installed & sufficient disk space, Star Office
will install. However, this is not a working installation - you need start
X and go to /opt/SO51/bin and run setup.bin which unpacks & installs SO
properly. To install it for a user run the setup.bin as the usre and
choose Network Installation which just installs the data dirs & config
files in your home, rather than the whole 150Mb
