Strange but true. There doesn't appear to be a back port of OpenOffice. I don't understand why perhaps someone else has an idea about this?
I finally used this howto: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=68 Which points out you must uninstall the older version completely before attempting the upgrade and also makes clear you ought to apply the integrations which makes things look better. There isn't a README or INSTALL provided with the stock OO.deb AFAIKT. Lame, lame, lame. Unfortunately in the end I wasn't able to upgrade because the new install would have forced all 500 of my student users to click through the licensing dialog again. I had this licked under 2.2 but I guess the Sun folks moved some things around. <rant> I'd love to see a master config file where you can specify defaults for all users, and I understand that this may have been an OO feature back in the early 1.x days. I assume that this was removed and it annoys me. I spent hours tracking down files here and there and use /etc/profile kludges to get kids drive paths, file format defaults, etc right. I've seen this rant a lot of other places so I guess this is one itch that isn't being scratched for some reason. But it's still worth it to me to put up with broken/mis-engineered Free software rather than the proprietary alternative. :-) </rant> John On Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 9:21 PM, Asmo Koskinen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Greg Reagle kirjoitti: > > > > I recommend Ubuntu Backports.
