Make sure the file has "x" permissions, then as root, issue a "./so........... /net" (just exec the .bin file with the /net option). When asked, I would save in "/usr/local/office52" but the choice is up to you. Once installed, login as user and go to "/usr/local/office/programs" and run (./soffice) the soffice program. This will install about 1.8MB of "personal" files in your home directory. Each user on your system should do this to get his/her "personal" files. To finally run the program just exec /home/<user>/office52/soffice" -- --- Christopher W. Aiken, Scenery Hill, Pa, USA chris at cwaiken dot com, www.cwaiken.com Current O/S: Debian 2.2 GNU/Linux
