I have a laptop with just about the same stats as yours. I need it to run Open office or some other linux Xwindows Office suite. Is this possible with this slow of a machine?

Sorry to be a pain but where so you run the untar commands from? I tried running them from d: but I get bad command of filename. The command wants to look for the a: drive. Should I have something on a floppy? Thanks

Open Office will probably run verly slowly if at all on an older computer like this.

However, Siag Office should run fine on  old machines.

If you are not satisfied with OOffice, Give Siag Office a try.

Brian -

When I do an unrar t unrar.rar from the d: prompt I get the header "UNRAR 3.30 Freeware" and then "Cannot open unrar.rar" "No files to extract". Any ideas? Thanks
