Just downloaded Knoppix DVD and am impressed with all the goodies. However, I cannot get the new version of OpenOffice 2.0 (beta) to load at all. I click the icon, the machine clicks and grinds, and then nothing. It is as if I had never clicked anything at all. No error messages, no lock ups, and no residual screens.

I am running an AMD 1.7 gig, 1 gig RAM, with plenty of free HD space.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? Any buttons I can push to load with a minimum of overhead? Most of the posts I have seen so far say it is an OpenOffice beta issue, not a Knoppix issue.

I have had no problems using earlier versions of OpenOffice on Knoppix or Red Hat.
