But Dan is right, Knoppix 4.0.2 has a prerelease version of OO.o2 ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppix/packages.txt openoffice-de-en 2.0-2? doesn't tell me which build and i aint rebooting into it to check it out. Knoppix works by sticking the disk in at startup and telling your BIOS to boot from the CD first. It will not write anything to your hard disk drive. Because it runs from CD it is s_l_o_w_e_r. -- Michael Those that can, do; those that can't, teach. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
