Fedora 10 co-operating with Windows XP – part3

OK … trying to get MS Office to run within Linux is do-able … just not easy to do for someone who doesn’t have the Office CD’s (i.e. me). I might have to drop by our local Microsoft distributor’s and ask if they can loan me the CD so I can install it on my Linux partition … LOL! My problem right now is that I have an OEM install of Office 12, and I can’t run the Install from the CD, which triggers copying all the relevant DLLs from the CD.

The winetricks shell script failed to run on my laptop … due to my iffy internet connection. I think I’ll just have to resign to keeping Windows for Office work, and Fedora 10 for experimenting with OSS.
