It appears to work fine on my > (Debian) system when I run it as root. I ran 'setup -net' as root and installed into /opt As a normal user I did a workstation install (3 and a bit megs) into my home directory. If you do use root's installation as the basis for a workstation install you shouldn't run soffice as root (why would you be doing normal work as root anyway?) Works fine with the odd Word files I have kicking around, I don't know what version of Word they were produced with though. It seems a bit faster than 641. I'll bring the CD to the installfest if anybody wants to try it. --Andrew -- sparc sun4c stuff: http://www.lostgeneration.freeserve.co.uk/sparc PGP key for list [at] lostgeneration.freeserve.co.uk: http://www.lostgeneration.freeserve.co.uk/list.freeserve.co.uk.asc
