I want to add something to Chapter 1 of the Writer Guide about using the
Quickstarter under Linux (the chapter already has a section about
Quickstarter under Windows, from the time when Windows was the only OS
that supported the Quickstarter). I have not attempted yet to get this
to work on my Ubuntu (Gnome) system, and indeed I have no idea (without
doing some research) whether there are any differences between Linuxes
or KDE vs Gnome.
I would be grateful if someone else would do the research on this topic
and write up a draft, at least with the essential information in it, so
I don't have to. Or point me to where it is written up. I know I have
seen notes about this; I just don't recall where and really don't have
time to research it right now. Thank you for any assistance you can give!
I'm still working on this, Jean. The Quickstarter (OOo 2.0.4) functions
correctly on my Intel systems, but doesn't on an AMD Athlon 64 running
an Intel 486 kernel. All these systems are running under Debian Etch
(testing) with Gnome presently.
I'll be installing KDE shortly and I'll try the Quickstarter there as well.
For any other distributions you'll have to look elsewhere, I'm afraid.
Not very helpful, but all I can offer at the moment.
