You need the libc 5.4.44 file in /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib directory, as
RH5 is glibc ( libc6 ) you need to grab the tar.gz file of 5.4.44 and
extract to a temp dir, then grab libc-5.4.44 and make a symbolic link to
lib.so.5
This works fine, do a ./setup /net as root and you get the main install,
put it in something like /usr/local/Office40
Then logon as a user, go back to the dir you untared the 54meg file into
and run setup again as that used, pick network/cd install and it will
only put used config files in your homedir under Office40 I think Like
2 megs - basicaly your options, graphics, etc that you can change and
will leave the main ones unchanged.
One problem - I'm having problems with running the spell checker, so my
only using the libc-5.4.44 file might be a partial soultion.
Anyone else know why the spell check would fail with a file not found,
when the dictonary is listed in the path setup? I can dig up the error
if needed.
