By far the easiest way is to install the OO.o version for your version of Mandrake. V1.1.4 http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/Mandriva/official/10.2/i586/media/main/ If you want a later version you could run into issues as Mandriva to the best of knowledge has supported no later OO.o version on 10.2. You could try the latest RPM from Mandriva for 2006 and just see if you are going to have dependency issues. I expect you would. RPM and URPMI both have a test option. http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-install-additional-options.html http://forums.osdir.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=419&highlight=&sid=76884c29e199948781b5e8a330718767 You could roll your own (compile it yourself) from the source code but you may still have dependency issues. This option assumes a reasonable level of competence. Unless someone on this list has installed the latest version on MDK10.2 themselves i would suggest your best bet is to ask on one of the Mandriva Mailing Lists: http://mandriva.vmlinuz.ca/index.php/Support/Mailinglists -- Michael Those that can, do; those that can't, teach. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
