I don't think a single rpm repository will work for every rpm distro so... download site, yes, repository, no: that's distro work. ----------------------------------------------------------------- How to "install" LibO: 1- Unpack the tar.gz file with the rpms 2- Create a folder inside the RPMS folder 3- Open a terminal on that folder 4- Run this command: for i in ../l*.rpm; do rpm2cpio $i | cpio -id; done A folder called /opt is created with the complete install on it. 5- on /your_custom_install_path/opt/libreoffice3/program you can find the scripts to launch the program. 6- it is possible to edit the file bootstraprc to change the user profile folder destination (UserInstallation variable: $ORIGIN will use the "install" folder). 7- test 8- report bugs Something similar can be done with debs, but I'm from a rpm world ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.
