Hi Johan, Thank you very much for your answer!
I feared to mess up my system even more when installing from older debian packets and finally managed to finish the slides even with ooimpress being painfully slow. I then made everybody wait when presenting them :( For the next presentation though I better look for some other solution... And maybe I better give up to use sid on the laptop I use for this kind of occasions :) schroot and lxc look very interesting, thanks :) Thanks again for your help, Dietrich On Sat, 2011-02-12 at 11:33 +0100, Johan Grönqvist wrote: > 2011-02-12 08:32, Dietrich Bollmann skrev: > > Does somebody know from where and how to install Impress 3.0 ? > > I am using Debian sid. > > I have no idea if it will work with a current sid, but older debian > packages are available via the "snapshot" service.
