You are waaay ahead of the curve if you have 3.0 installed, version 1.1rc hasn't even been released, offically, yet. I have OpenOffice.org 1.0.3 and 1.1Beta2 both installed. They installed without a problem using apt-get. With this in your sources.list # OpenOffice Packages deb http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.vpn-junkies.de/openoffice/ unstable main contrib do dselect update then apt-get -t unstable install openoffice.org1.1 openoffice.org1.1-bin openoffice.org1.1-l10n-en The only thing I can't get working is the linkup to JRE1.4. Other then that its works just fine. -- If your computer says, "Printer out of Paper," this problem cannot be resolved by continuously clicking the "OK" button. _______________________________________________________ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
