[LUAU] Problems registering Star Office 5.0

[Angelo Alvarez]

Steve:

I went to the Star Office faq page
(http://www.stardivision.com/office/faqs.html) and found this bit of
information:

Why does my Linux distribution freeze when I try to install StarOffice?

    If you try to install your StarOffice Personal Edition on a
workstation using a S3 Virge or compatible graphic card the installation
screen, and sometimes the whole system will freeze. This is due to
incompatibilities with older X-Server versions for the S3 Virge chipset.
A download fix can be found at this address:
http://www.stardivision.com/support/download_pub.html .  We still
recommend installing the newest version of this X-Server as this problem
might arise with other applications, too.

I would also make sure you have the latest RPMs.
