You can check to see what is available by looking at synaptic: as far as Open Office is concerned, the latest version available is 2.4.1. If you want a package or a package version that is not in the repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list, its a good idea to see if there is a Debian package available, and then install that. Or you could add the repository if you know how...but this can be dangerous. However, its a matter of downloading it from the website concerned if nothing is available. If you have a .deb file available, so much the better, but otherwise you'll probably have to compile it yourself. -- Graham Todd --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gOS Linux" group.
