For my first problem which don't allow me begin is for me very difficult and I can't nowhere find resolve. It is going on simple for experienced user thing: I absoolute need and must install StarOffice 8 on my Solaris. In zip archive there are four files: *.jpg, *.bin, *.cue, *toc and nothing more. I try various method to try install Staroffice - xhost+, chmod a+x, ./, sh in random queue just, but one problem is non sotp showed me csnn't execute binary file. I do not know what to do further. thats only one information and solution, which will for me enough.I beg everyone who knows, how install StarOffice 8 on Solaris 5.10, please write me detailed how can I do it. I will be very gracefully and at last I can will begin this OS. This software packet is absolutely for me necessary without it I can't begin. > Sincerely - Norbert Cielecki. > > 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. -- Tom Mix
