Tony, download the 3.5 debs: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/ Extract with Nautilus: 'Extract here' In a terminal cd to: /LibO-Dev_3.5.0beta2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS and install: $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Do the same for the help file: /LibO-Dev_3.5.0beta2_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US/DEBS $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb That will install the dev version in /opt/lodev3.5. These will not interfere wihth your existing LO install(s) & will create a profile as ~/.config/lodev/3/user. Now create a menu or desktop launcher to: /opt/lodev3.5/program/soffice and off you go. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
