install the package java2. This is needed by OO. It is present within 7.3, so YaST2 will do the job.... Regards Harry

I have been moving along slowly with Linux V 7.3, managing to get some things working on a PC dual boot system with NT4. I have Samba almost there ( a couple of questions will probably arise after some more reading).
Can now access the net, via a PC with ADSL connection (NT4), and this works fine, so I decided to download Open Office V 1.0, (which I have been using under Windows). So I got the Linux file downloaded and started the installation.
My initial problem is that the install process indicated "No Java Environment Found". I tried downloading a java runtime from the SuSE CD and re-booted, same error message.
I had not installed Star Office 5.2, but decided to do that just to see if it would install. Yes I could install it, and it found the java environment.
The installation I have is SuSE V 7.3 as per the CD's plus an online update of patches to the installation. The only "outside" software is Open Office.
Can some kind user offer advice as to how I can troubleshoot this problem, or provide the basic steps to resolve this installation process. Please bear with me in that I am still learning basic Linux commands, and am still ploughing my way through How To's and man pages. (As an aside I am almost really ready to commit to V8.0 Professional).
