the staroffice worked flawlessly before i upgraded recently as long as I installed
it as user and not as network install. the jave has never worked at all cause it
is unable to find the jave class libs or something to that affect on a mandrake
system but i'm sure that is because they simply do not exist on a mandrake system
perhaps we should see about putting jdk in contribs. something like that would
solve the class lib problem no? but i'm at a loss to why it refuses to start now.
except maybe perhaps the fact that i am now using reiserfs part? could that be it?
I don't have another part to test with, can anyone try a user install of star
office on a reiserfs part? and see if you can get it to start. i can't figure out
what else i could have changed to cause it to crash on the 7.1b system that it
previously ran fine(excpept for the java stuff of course) anyone have any ideas?
and yes I agree we are prolly a low priority.
