To all in Debian Land, I have successful installed and run Star Office 5, the only problem I had was downloading it in the first place....
I am using a fairly standard 'Hamm' install and running an external Xserver for my Neomagic videocard in my laptop. I have not had any real problems yet, but have not Star Office for anything more than loading and editing a few (non-fast save) word97 documents. I also found the installation easy to do, just followed the instructions. However I had the feeling that the registration had not worked, until I realised that you have to register twice (a little strange but there you go). You need to register when you first install Star Office and then when you first run Star Office you can either register On-line or by printing and sending a registration form. I used the On-line registration and it worked first time... Hope this helps in some way. John.
