LibreOffice is still in beta test, so you won't get it as an automatic anything yet. You have to download the .deb gzipped-tar file, uncompress it and then run the installation directly. Just be sure you have the right version: Linux x86 or x64 (deb) and pick your language. x86 is for 32-bit systems, x64 for 64-bit (of course). tar xzf <the file you downloaded>, cd into the newly created LibO_* directory, then cd into the DEBS directory, run 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb", then cd into the desktop-integration directory and run the same dpkg command again. That's it. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
