To sum up, there won't be a 64 bit OOo.org any time soon. 32 bit chroots are beyond what a user can be expected to setup. The AMD64 cpu can run 32 & 64 bit apps at the same time, all is needed are the correct libraries installed for the 32 bit apps. This last point is what Ubuntu and others have used to run OpenOffice on 64 bit. Does Debian amd64 have such a plan for running OpenOffice ? Say what you will about OpenOffice, oowriter is the only wordproccesor in Linux that has a feature set that some/many/I require. Hopefully this will change, I like Abiword, small & quick it is. -- Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
