That is incorrect. The .deb version from openoffice.org installs quite nicely alongside whatever repo version you have running in Ubuntu (8.10 or otherwise). Instructions: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-openoffice-3.0.0-on-ubuntu-8.04 [Note: Don't uninstall your existing Ubuntu version, just read all the pages and follow the instructions for installing _with_ your repo version installed. Instructions apply for 8.10 as well.] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
