Those instructions only show RPM and Windows. There are no instructions for DEB. DEV300m5-7 install over the existing 2.x install (m3 did not do this). I've filed a new bug regarding this issue. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=88357 Apologies for including the install log in the bug vs adding as an attachment. I realised that I should have added the log as an attachment after I hit the submit button. I've found that the 2.x installs can be moved to a home folder and run from there once the file ownerships are changed: sudo chown -R <user>:<usergroup> /home/<user>/<OOofoldername> Same for DEV300M7, but in this case you need to move both the /opt/ooo-dev3 and the /opt/openoffice.org folders to the home target directory. soffice doesn't seem to want to work, but swriter etc., all work from the new home folder. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
