Thanks for replying. It starts downloading OK and then rapidly completes the process with a message that it has failed or is corrupted. Matemwe School teachers have a computer and they lack English skills. This version would really help them, so I would be most grateful for your advice or different link. Tim Boswell <snip>
Hello Tim I think the OOo community would be very happy to help Matemwe School. Maybe other people on the list here know how to help you out. What we certainly need to know is what type of computers you have there, and with what operating system (Linux, Windows, Mac...). You might take a look at the system requirements ( http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_20.html) I suspect the swahili version hasn't got too much attention lately, but as I said, there are always Release Candidates of each version of OOo made with a whole bunch of different (interface) languages, amongst them swahili. Many of these RC's aren't judged to be stable and reliable enough to become official releases, but nevertheless function quite good. An option might be to install a stable english version on one computer, and swahili versions on the others (preferably of the same version of OOo - version 2.2 is on the point of getting released..., but an older version, 2.0, 2.1 or even a good 1.x release will probably enough for the school's needs). Hope other volunteers on this list jump in to help... -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.2 RC 1 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and dutch OOo 2.2 RC 1 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
