I am totally new to Linux. I'm trying to learn the OS now. I installed Linux
XP Desktop and have tried to install OpenOffice 2.02, but I am so used to
Windows, I don't have a clue how to install programs. I'm looking for setup or
setup.exe when obviously there is none that I know of. Can someone help?
Please!
Thanks,
Mike
Mike:
Congrats on trying Linux. I much prefer it.
You said you installed "Linux XP Desktop". I've never heard of that
distro / flavour. Where did you get it?
Most Linux distros have a package manager that helps to install
programs. But, you'll need to find the distro you have. What does it say
on your log in screen?
Also, most Linux distors come with OOo pre-installed. Did you look in
your menus?
Another users on the list also suggested this:
--------------
The link below contains the setup guide:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/index.html
I've just discovered that there are rpms and debs available so the
exact process depends on which of these you downloaded and which type
your distro is set up to use.

Get back to us with some of these answers and we can try to help more.
