Gentlemen-
I find that the OOo2 Beta Linux install instructions could be improved
by being more explicit.
I add suggested steps to the existing instructions copied below
(additions starting in the middle of Step "5.")...
*********************************************************************
Linux RPM-based Installation
Prerequisites
If you want Java integration, you want to make sure you have the latest
JRE installed. It should be at least JRE 1.4. You can find the JRE for
Linux at the Java JRE for Linux download site. Alternatively, it might
be included on the installation media of your distro as part of a
complete Java development environment.
Installation Steps
1. Unpack the downloaded image into a directory. For example,
currently, the following command would unpack into the current
directory:
tar xvzf Ooo_1.9.m79_native_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz
2. Su to root, if necessary.
3. cd into the directory with the unpacked image. This could be
RPMS.
4. Delete any rpm files that do not apply to your system. For
example, on a Fedora Core 3 system, delete any rpms specific to
another distribution such as openofficeorg-suse-
menus-1.9.79-1.noarch.rpm.
5. Then execute rpm -Uvih *rpm. [This could be executed from the
path /home/[username]/RPMS/, for example.]
6. Then, cd into the /desktop-integration directory. This could be
done with the command cd /home/[username]/RPMS/desktop-
integration/ [enter].
7. Finally, from the /desktop-integration directory, install the
rpm for you distro. On a Fedora Core 3 system, for example, run
the openofficeorg-redhat-menus-1.9.100-1.noarch.rpm with the
command rpm -Uvih openofficeorg-redhat-
menus-1.9.100-1.noarch.rpm [enter]. This will install the
launcher links for each OpenOffice.org module under
Applications->Office->[OpenOffice.org 1.9 Writer] (Fedora Core
3) on your distro's panel menu -- or under the Main Menu or
Starter Bar on the main panel of your distro.
8. Complete system setup by launching any of the OpenOffice.org
application modules from this link on the panel menu.
