Which version are you looking for feedback/testing on?
http://people.apache.org/~arielch/packages/r1293550/linux_x86/OOo-Dev_OOO340m1_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz or http://people.apache.org/~arielch/packages/r1293550/linux_x86/OOo_3.4.0_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz I see the "The r***** links provides full normal install sets instead of development builds to test upgrades and system integration." However I suspect that some will download one, and some will download the other. So I think it helpful if you clarify as to which one you want feedback/testing on - particularly since they are ~138MB each. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
