Greetings Phil: No, you can not turn this into a .deb file. This is a product of Sun, and they require it to be installed as they wish. You *can* install it system wide with the /net arguement. Do a quick google search on it becuase it has been many moons since I last used it. Also, be advised that SO5.2 is no longer supported after the release of SO6 last month. It is no longer free cost software. OpenOffice is free of cost, and as far as I can tell, free code. There are debs now available for installing it via apt-get. I'll paste the url's below for you to include in your apt source.lists file. I haven't tested any of them for about a month. You can learn more about them via the archives at: http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/ OpenOffice is a free version of Sun's Star Office 6. #for OpenOffice debs #deb http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/openoffice unstable main contrib #deb-src http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/openoffice unstable main contrib Good luck to you. tatah - -- Jaye Inabnit\ARS ke6sls\/A GNU-Debian linux user\/ http://www.qsl.net/ke6sls If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid. I SHOUT JUST FOR FUN. Free software, in a free world, for a free spirit.
