I run an older 1.6 GHZ Sempron 2.8 with 1 GB Ram, and a not-very-fast

suggestions for cleaning up your system that look like they might help.
A half *hour*??? Just to *install* it???
On your system, the install should take considerably less than 5 minutes...
Are you installing it over an internet connection? That's the only way I
can see for it to take that long.
The tone of your remark is harsher than you perhaps meant it to be.
I do not understand what you mean "installing over an internet
connection." Everyone who does not use a CD to install OO.o must install
from the web. One downloads the executable installer from the OOo web
site then runs the executable installer.
Running the installation program itself takes more than 8 minutes here,
but there are other things to do besides just run the installer.
Fetching installer, 5+ minutes, installation, 8+ minutes. I ran OO.o to
check settings, "load at startup" was not checked. When first started,
OO.o demanded I register, and sent me to Oracle's web site, which would
not accept my login name and password I had retained from Suns' web
site. After many attempts, it told me it couldn't do this because of a
"server error." A substantial waste of time.
The time I quoted included download, install, and registration time.
The time to download and run the installer was about 15 minutes, and is
consistent with the time taken to install earlier versions of OO.o.
I probably should have been a bit more careful and should not have
included wasted registration time.
When you respond to questions on this mailing list, it would be well to
be more gentle.
