This could be too late, but this week's Debian weekly news announced that OpenOffice has been backported to woody, although the packages are in a private repository and not extensively tested. http://lists.debian.org/debian-news/debian-news-2003/msg00007.html : OpenOffice.org 1.0.2 for Woody. Adrian Bunk [18]announced that he has backported OpenOffice.org 1.0.2 to woody (stable) using a backported GCC 3.2.1. However, he warns that the [19]packages are only lightly tested and he would welcome any comments. Version 1.0.2 is officially available for i386, powerpc and s390 in Debian unstable. 18. http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice-0301/msg00169.html 19. http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/packages/ -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
