Hello Hetz!

I've also tried putting up Crossover, but the only things that run are 
Internet Explorer and the Media Player. All of the office apps give a 
pop up box with this:

???? ?? ?????? ?????? ???? "?? ?????? ????? ?? ??? ?????? ????
"
?????? ?? ????? ????? ?? ??????
    

If you're sending hebrew messages, then please make sure you're sending it in
hebrew encoding. I'm using openweb mail now and I cannot read this mesage.

Oy vay! I'll try again (I've set the encoding to ISO 8859-8-1):

הפעל את תוכנית ההתקנה מתוך "יש להתקין יישום זה כדי להפעיל אותו
"
המיקום בו התקנת במקום את היישום

That's pretty cryptic!

Are You trying CrossOver plugin product? 

Nope - the full deal.

because thats a totally different
product. Also, try to install from CDROM and not from hard drive.

Do yo mean the MS stuff or Crossover? MS stuff was from an original CD, Crossover from the supplied downloaded executable.

Also, make sure you're using CrossOver 1.3.1 - specially when you're using SuSE
8.1 

Using 1.3.1. I can't see why the distro should matter all that much. SuSE is rpm based and uses /etc, /usr, /opt and /home in the standard way.

(which I'm not sure is supported).
 
  

1. To the best of my knowledge everything was set to be run from hard 
disk (not from the CD on demand).
    

Ok.

  

2. I did a root install to /opt/cxoffice.
    

Did you try as a standard user first?

No - I do all intalls system wide, so that they'll work for any account.

a. Do you have any idea what is needed here? (Everthing is world 
readable/executable, so it's not a permissions issue.)
    

For each user it opens a "mini" registry, and it sets up it's own premission..

I noticed that.

b. Do you know if there is there any way to install the supplementary 
language pack?
    

Well, I don't have this pack to test. 

That's odd - it's part of the standard distro.

If you can loan me the pack for a quick
test (and erase, I want to stay legal with commercial software) - I'll be most
apperciateful about that.
 
  

And finally a comment: On my SuSE 8.1/KDE system, Ctl Right Shift does 
nothing. I just toggle the little languge flag in the dock tray from 
USE to Hebrew (as I did to insert the Hebrew message above).
    

Yeah, I think I figured out why it happends. Re-install Office with LOCALE set
to hebrew first, only then the installer thinks it's a Hebrew Windows and then
it adds the CTRL SHIFT stuff which needed for bidi. (don't be surprised to see
the hebrew install messages like "mamtin le-hatkana" :)

That may solve the above problem too.

Thanks,
Hetz
