make sure the binary your running is a valid binary, id say copy it to another machine and try to run it and see if it works ok. if the binary is curropted in the wrong way i can see how it could trash a system, especially if your running as root to install it(which is the usual way to do a networked install). another thing to check is how much ram you have, the installer may not work well if you have 16MB of ram or something(most of my systems have 256MB or more ..). star office seems to be a pretty generic X app(e.g. it doesnt use DGA or use opengl or whatever..) so its very odd that it could take down your machine. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
