[Sheflug] WordPerfect install

[Barrie Bremner <nospam [at] ecosse.net>]

Hi all.

I've been trying to install WordPerfect 8 on two of my boxen (the only
two with monitors, unsurprisingly :-), and one was fine (my machine -
flux) and the other (folk's machine - nothought) is failing to start the
installer GUI.

Now, according to the notes I've got, the DISPLAY needs to be set
correctly.
DISPLAY=:0 - which seems to be OK.

There are so many differences between the systems (kernel and X versions
for a start) that I couldn't go through it all, so I wonder if anyone
has had similar problems.

Thing is, that I want it on my folks machine - I'm not all that bothered
about mine!

Grrrr. Commercial software vs A Linux hacker's personal project...I
think I prefer the latter...

Baz.
