Hello everybody...

Hello.

"3.1r1 (unstable)" must be a typo?
Not a typo, but I wasn't very clear. I've downloaded 3.1r1 ISO's, and there is unstable folders : a snapshot of unstable packets at the creation time of theses ISO's... I use these packets (not very unstable, I think they select a version known to not crash easyly...) beacause I don't any internet connection...
I'm french Windows user, and I'm migrating under Linux Debian.
I've downloaded Debian 3.1r1 14 ISO's and burnt the first of them because I don't have any internet access on the target machine...
With this distro, there is OOo 1... And I would'like use OOo2...

If you want to use stable, you may install OOo 2.0.1 from Debian
Backports page: http://www.backports.org/; however, 2.0.3 is really
better.

I don't use KDE or Gnome, but XFCE 4.0.6 (on XFree 4.3.0, because the target machine is a 900 Mhz with a Trident CyberBlade/i1 video card (AGP, 4 Mo shared Memory, with very very few accel's... I've the
right driver but it's very slow)
I use the precompiled kernel 2.6.8-2-686...

Well, I use Debian testing, Gnome (sometimes KDE, too) and debian OOo
2.0.3 build on PIII450Mhz/256MB with no major problems ...
Your gnome it isn't too slow to be usable ? I've a P3 900 MHz / 256 MB and I gnome is very very slow... Cause of my video card ? (Trident HW-accels are noted [experimental] in the menuconfig of my kernel...)
I folow theses steps :
Uninstall & purge OOo1 (with aptitude)
Download OOo2 tarball (OOo 2.0.1 Linux Intel French)
Unzip in /opt
Intall of Alien (in my distro, I have the 8.5.2 version)
enter in RPMS folder
alien -d *.deb && rm *.rpm
dpkg -i *.deb

Once I installed native OOo 2.0.3 rpm's on debian testing using more
or less the same commands - only unpacked the rpm's to a subdir inside
my /home, and not /opt. It worked, except Writer crashed on opening
large MS Word files with no error report. I was too lazy to get into it,
so I just removed them and reinstalled debian 2.0.3 build. You seem to
be more persistent, maybe you'll get it working 100% :-)

I've tried to download .deb packets on an ftp, but it's a devel.
version with dependencies I can't resolve (newer libs with gcc4.0,
etc...)

You're granted to have dependency problems, when you install developer
builds on sarge (i.e. 3.1).
Last time I tried to install newer versions of applications on it and
fix the dependency problems, I had to reinstall the system...
If anyone have ideas for me...

My suggestion would be upgrading your debian to testing (etch)
- it's quite stable indeed - and install debian 2.0.3 build.
Maybe you'll not get the dependency problems installing developer debs
from ftp, too - don't know, haven't tried.

HTH,

Andrius
