What you have there is not a Solaris install package—it’s a CD image  
dump. The .bin file is the actual image, and the .cue/.toc describe the  
track layout. The .jpg is irrelevant.

On Solaris 10, you cannot “run” those files directly. You must either  
burn the .bin/.cue to a CD, or convert/mount it as an ISO.

Simplest options:

1) On another system (Linux/BSD), convert it:
   bchunk file.bin file.cue output.iso

2) Transfer the ISO to Solaris, then mount it:
   lofiadm -a output.iso
   mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt

3) Install StarOffice from the mounted directory.

If you skip this step, nothing will install—because you’re not dealing  
with extracted software, only a raw disc image.


PS learn to wrap.
