Says it can't open X. I wish this would work.

Nah. It's just a generic Linux file.

There is an install.zip but there's nothing executable in there.

Actually I don't think it's Star Office. I can't open anything from the CDROM (txt,
pdf,
anything). But other CDROMs work fine.
I have installed off this CD several times. And I was well on my way to installing on
this
box with this CD. But I stopped it mid-swing. Somehow it tainted the image or
something.
Thanks again.
