go to the directory in which your with alien made debian Ooo files are, and do as 'root' # dpkg -i /DIR/*.deb go ahter installation to: /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice and see if you can open OOo2.0 as root. do as root chmod 555 /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice and open as $ with the commandline [again] /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice or if you use kde from desktop good luck and let me know if this works steef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
