Yes, I would expect that as well, it's brandelf'ed SVR4 on the CD. Maybe that
newer FreeBSD versions fall back to linux brand?
I just installed SO 6.0 on my 4.7-Stable system (as of last Sunday).
It went quite easy, here are the steps I took:
xhost +localhost I'm logged in as normal user in X and install SO as root;
root needs access to the display.
mount /cdrom or wherever your favorite mount point is.
cd /cdrom/linux/office60
./setup -net to do a network install (see docs)
Follow instructions. I installed in /usr/local/staroffice6.0 (the installer
suggests /root/staroffice6.0 blaaah!!)
After it completed I need a user install (workstation install in the docs),
so as normal user:
cd /usr/local/staroffice60
./setup
and again follow the instructions; choose for a workstation install.
There even appeared an entry in my KDE menu :-).
I don't know about the Java and Adabas stuff, I didn't install that.
Oh yes, you need linprocfs mounted. See the Makefile in the Staroffice
directory for the entry you need in /etc/fstab. And according to that
same Makefile you need FreeBSD 4.5 or higher.

Good luck... I hope above directions help, although I really hope that
it will be possible to install this from ports in the future.
