other stuff the CD still insists on loading a lot of other things.
Can't load onto laptop because the thing tells me I am 223MG short.
Obviously the custom install feature isn't working. What do I do?
If you could tell me which files to copy from home computers, 2.6MG
ought to go onto 3 floppies which I could then copy into laptop.
Also tell me what to do to update config files on laptop if I do
from floppies. Thanks, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
What you do not understand is how OpenOffice.org works. More than
75% of the program is the core element. All the applications in OOo
use this core element. So, this is why you more than 223 MB on your
hard drive to install OOo even if you are only going to use one
application.
The only solution to your problem is to replace the hard drive in
your laptop with a larger one. I did this the first of this year on a
laptop I bought seven years earlier.

Alternatively, if you have a USB port on the laptop you could load
portable OpenOffice onto a thumb drive and run from there without
actually installing anything on the hard disk. Here:
