The reason it says for OpenLinux is that Caldera has permission to distribute it with OpenLinux on CD (presumably in .rpm form). There was a staroffice4 installer in either hamm or bo (IIRC), but it is not there now. You can easily install it by copying the tar.gz file (huge) to /usr/local, running tar -xzf <filename.tar.gz> and following the directions in any README files. I assume it's linked with libc5, so make sure that is also installed. I ran it in bo for a while and it worked fine, although I noticed that the display font sometimes made it hard to see if there was a space between words.
