FYI to you and others reading this thread. There is setup documentation. Please see http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/2.x/en/SETUP_GUIDE.pdf If we are missing something or you find the instruction confusing. Please take a moment and add your comments to http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=37513 so it can be improved. If your distro is not covered and you think it should please build a section for it and attached it to the issue for integration. Best format for this is a zipfile of images/screenshots and the odt. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
