Actually I more hope that the CHIP CD has the *fixed* version of StarOffice
5.0 on it - the downloadable one from the FTP site does not work with RHL
6.0 because StarDivision stupidly used undocumented glibc calls that are no
longer present in glibc 2.1 that ships with RHL 6.0.

The official RHL 6.0 application CD has a special version of StarOffice 5.0
on it that is the *only* version that works with any glibc 2.1 setup - I
just hope that *this* is the version CHIP put on the CD - I guess they would
have.

This is also a warning to others who have StarOffice 5 running - be aware
that it will break under any glibc 2.1 based setup (such as RHL 6.0).
