Hi am dual booting ubuntu 7.10 and 9.04. The former because when broadbadn does not work (which is frequently the case) then i need to use 7.10 because it allows me to use a device which does not work on 9.04.
Often i need to work on openoffice documents while on the net, so if its a document on 9.04 ooo.org (version 3.x) it mostly crashes while being accessed on 7.10 (ooo.org version 2.4x). I don't want to upgrade 7.10 because the said internet access device (a cdma wll phone) is very very finicky about what kernel it works on. Secondly i find that if i partially upgrade software via apt / synaptic then strange crashes happen in many related software. So am wondering if i am better off installing such software that i will dual use , from source ?? look forward to opinions and advise. thanks ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
