I installed Version 2.2.1 and it is running fine. Now i tried to install StarOffice on the host. StarOffice is for OpenLinux, but BSD should be able to run it?! I placed StarOffice to '/opt/StarOffice-3.1' and tried to run 'setup' there. It was not possible to do. It said that this is a different UNIX system. I placed 'COMPAT_LINUX' into the kernel and 'linux="YES"' into '/etc/sysconfig'. What is wrong? It is written that BSD can run Linux binaries. Thanks for answers, Norbert Grundmann EMail: grundman@i5.informatik.rwth-aachen.de
