Use dpkg (as root) to install .debs. e.g. $ sudo dpkg -i <package-name>.deb or $ su - $ dpkg -i <package-name>.deb You could also try to use OO.org 2.0 from unstable, but I suppose you're using stable for a reason. Maybe a backport will be available in the near future ... Felix -- Felix C. Stegerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature." -- R.
