Re: [MLUG] WordPerfect 8 for linux

[John Engelbrecht <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Yes I tried installing it from root, 
I used root login to mount the CD-ROM, went to /mnt/cdrom, 
and ran ./install.wp, Then I said yes, continue anyway Even though its not
sure about Linux Kernel 2.4.9, then thats when I get all them errors.

I tried Abiword once, it seem bloated.
If you put too much text on there, the you start to see
ghost images of Cursor where it once was, its also same with text 
itself, its like Mouse Cursor set on trail, except the trail never
goes away.

What I really need is a Spreadsheet program,
I recently thought about using mysql, but it has been 
awhile since I play with installation of it, I'm not sure how to
start up mysqld, it's saying the root user itself can not start it up.
