*.bin files are binary files, i.e. programs. Assuming you want to install these as a normal user (which is typical for StarOffice), do the following: cd ~ chmod +x so*.bin This would change to your home directory and then make so*.bin executable. Then run the first file and see what it does (sorry, I've only installed the one big StarOffice file). -- Regards, | Seeing Bill Gates in TV ads whining about the court verdict, . | perhaps we should recall Woodrow Wilson's warning of 1912: "If Randy | there are men in this country big enough to own the government | of the United States, they are going to own it."
