Replying to myself. :-). The problem with this was something to do with using the live-boot install. Changing to using Freenas booting of a flash disk fixed it, on the same test machine. Odd, but there you go. Now going to try it out with 3 1Gb/s NIC's, crossover cables and three clients

openoffice 2.3 installation

Hi, I have the OpenOffice 2.3 deb download but am not sure how to do the install - this is a Mepis 6.5 installation. I have all the deb files extracted in a folder along with the desktop integration file. On a SuSE box yesterday the equivalent was executing rpm -Uvh *.rpm. Cheers, Roger

I converted all the rpms to .debs, but them all into a separate directory and did a dpkg -i * IIRC, I had to force it, as one of the packages conflicted. The end result works fine, but I don't really notice a lot of difference from 2.2 - I do hasten to add that I'm a very light OOo user..

What do you mean exactly? php is (in this instance) a server-side language which is used to generate the html that you can see. Updating the website requires you to change the scripts, rather than the html they generate. I hope that makes sense. It's been a long week. Steve On Fri, 21 Sep
