I would recommend that you upgrade to 2.0Final as soon as possible. m125
is old unless you want to stick with that RH version. You might also
like to let us know which JRE you use.
Thanks. I am waiting for the RH version to upgrade to 2.0. Regarding
JRE, I have installed
jre1.5.0_05
but getting
$ java -version
java version "1.4.2"
Now, I have
$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_05-b05, mixed mode, sharing)
$
But Base is still slow when I click on the button "Tables" by the
first time. Maybe, this problem is already solved in OOo 2.0. I will
install 2.0 as soon as it appears on the stable FC4 repositories.
I thought you might be interested in knowing the FC4 disables some
features in OOo, the main one that really bothered me was the lack of
the autofill feature in Calc. I'm not an expert but I saw something
that said the FC4 disables the Java features due to licensing issues.
You may know some way around it, but I ended up just installing the
official release from OOo, and my problem went away, it was pretty
painless with the new RPM pakages.
Just an FYI, don't know if it interests you or not.
Thanks, Steve, for you very useful information. Are there rpms for
installing the official release? I can only find:
OOo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz
That is the collection you want.
Do you mean that OOo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz contains the rpms
that I am looking for?

Sounds right, just unpack the files, the one I used (RC3) had a
directory that contained all the RPMs, in that there was also a
directory that had 'special' files for different setups. I moved the
one labeled as red-hat to the directory with the other RPMs and then ran
the rpm install command that installed all the rpm files in the given
directory. Sorry I don't have specifics but they are on the OOo website
under installation instructions.
Hope this helps
Steve
