Hi Craig :) Yes, it would be great to find out if other Bsd distros are supported, if it is easy enough to ask them. It would be really great if the documentation team were told of any results you discover, or even better if you could help them with the installer pages. If you don't have time then don't worry as it is not crucial.

Also: * there are a lot of unrelated *BSD's (e.g. Free-, Open- and netBSD) * *BSD apps aren't (normally) distributed as pre-compiled packages but as source to compile * once an app is "in the ports," it (normally) has a maintainer (IOW, is supported) * checking w/those projects will show whether LibO is supported So, for example, to see whether an app is supported by FreeBSD, I * go to their central applications site: http://www.freshports.org * search on LibreOffice * find that 3.2.2 is the current ver and the "maintainer" is Baptiste Daroussin I'm not as familiar with the other *BSD's but, if you want, I'll poke around to establish whether they are maintaining LibO and at what version. hth, -Craig On 05/12/2011 04:05 AM, Marc Paré wrote: > Le 2011-05-12 06:45, Tom Davies a écrit : >> Hi :) >> >> Hah, i can't find it in the downloads drop-down any-more.
