Let me try to reformulate: You know where the bulk of the download was done (language versions, language packs, sdk ....), looking at 4.0 would the same bulk be possible or do we e.g. miss a part (e.g. if one language was a major download and not supported in 4.0, it would limit the downloads). sorry for my lack of language skills. rgds jan I. > -Rob > > > rgds > > jan I. > > > > > >> > >> Regards, > >> > >> -Rob > >> > >> > Regards > >> > Ricardo > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> >> > >> >> Regards, > >> >> > >> >> -Rob > >> >> > >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- > >> >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > >> >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >> >> > >> >> > >> > >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- > >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >> > >> > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
