To find files by name on your system, you can use the find command like
this:
find / -name <expression> -print | more
Replace <expression> with the string you're looking for, in this case
staroffice. Actually, the staroffice binary is called soffice. You can
used * as wildcards in the above find statement. If you did:
find / -name "*s*office*" -print | more
it would return all files like staroffice, soffice, postoffice, etc.,
since the * are wildcards. I don't know about no desktop shortcuts.
Good luck,
Hidong
