Johnny, are you running 32-bit or a 64-bit Ubuntu Hardy ? Is it possible that you've downloaded the 64-bit package to a 32-bit setup ? In any event, at this point you might want to consider uninstalling you present ooo files, using Synaptic as Gary described above, sending the «OOO300_m7_native_packed-1_en-US.9354» package to the trash from the directory on which it is stored, and then once again downloading the LinuxX86-64_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz package (if, indeed, you are running 64-bit Ubuntu. I haven't been able to find a corresponding package that has «32-bit» in its name, but perhaps the «LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz» package is the one you want if you are running a 32-bit setup) and installing it according Gary's instructions. You can then, if you so choose, download and install the «langpack_sv_deb.tar.gz». This combination provides me with an OOo suite with Swedish as the default language, precisely in accord with my desires.... Henri
