On any debian mirror. It's just not building the .debs for amd64 yet until the maintainer thinks it's ready. He keeps the .debs on http://people.debian.org/~rene/openoffice.org instead. It requires some minor changes to the build scripts to build it yourself. Note that upstream still thinks that the 64 bit version is still alpha quality. If it's saying saving doesn't work, it might mean that if you save it, and you try to open it with an other (32 bit) version, it doesn't work. I kow that didn't use to work, not sure of how much has been fixed. In short, don't use a 64 bit version of it, if you can't handle alpha qualitity software. If you want something that should work, wait untils it's properly in the archive. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
