I'll look it through see if I can improve it.

Maybe something like this:

Note: To install OpenOffice.org for multiple users on the same computer please see Multiple User Environment under Windows.

Note: If you receive the error message "Internal error 2755.110" while installing OpenOffice.org, you can:
   1. Right-click the folder OpenOfficeorg 3.x Installation Files.
   2. Click Properties > Advanced.
   3. Remove the check next to Encrypt contents to secure data and click OK
(the steps might need some work still)

Thoughts:
  - Do these steps apply to Vista? or only XP?  What about Windows 7?
- Does this error still happen? This error is not mentioned in the Wiki docs anywhere... I am wondering if it was something unique to a very old version of OOo.


all operating systems, I think that we should only work with documentation that show how to perform installation, uninstallation and administration using OUR installation packages. If we reach out too far, it will look like we are responsible for the packaged versions available in the different package managers.
Then in the introduction part, make sure we specify we focus on using instructions for our installation packages. Then simply make reference to alternative methods of install can be found elsewhere.

If I would decide, Gentoo and FreeBSD chapters would be removed. FreeBSD also has uncomplete instructions. I would place these as FAQ notes in the wiki instead.

I would agree. OOo provides the Java installer, plus the deb and rpm packages for Linux. This is what we should document. If we try to cover all possible scenarios with Linux... we could be here for years :-)
We could also be very verbose in different ways to install just under Windows. Some quick examples might be using MSI files, customizing the MSI files, using EXE files, installing under Administrator, installing under another account with administrator permissions, then the two inferences above where "Do these steps apply to Vista? or only XP? What about Windows 7?," and install OpenOffice.org in windows for only one or for multiple users on the same computer, etc.

Yes, I am persuaded to limit our focus on our installation packages but ensuring we cover the major OSes.
