As root: ./setup -net Or, if you have problem connecting to the display: something like: DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/home/tzafrir/.Xauthority ./setup -net And later, as a user: /opt/OpenOffice.org644/setup and choose "station" On 643 there was the command-line install, which was faster and simpler. But it seems to be gone in 644.

Maybe you need a specific path. But what do you need the java for, anyway? BTW: any idea how difficult it is to build an openoffice apt source of that snapshot sources? It is bound to be much easier and faster to insall. Ditto for rpms. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir
