Can anyone explain how to install OpenOffice 2.3 on Linux? (Ubuntu 6.10)
OOO has had a "one-click installer" just like Windows forever but OOO
2.3 is a disaster!
So far, I've downloaded the OOo_2.3.0_LinuxIntel_en_US_deb.tar.gz
I've gunzipped it
I've done a tar -xvf on the resulting tarball
And now I've got a whole pile of debs (about 30) and a Readme with no
installation instructions at all.
Does anyone know how to install it from here?
Am I supposed to dpkg all 30 debs, 1 by 1 or is ONE of the debs the MAIN
deb that will start the install? If so, which one?
[cut]
dpkg -iR <wherever you tar'd to>/DEBS
does it for me. I had to re-boot to get the icons in the menus, but otherwise as
smooth as silk. I was root at the time, so I can't state definitively whether
that's essential, or not but I imagine that it is.
This was on Debian "Etch" by the way, but I can't imagine Ubuntu obstructing
something this innocuous.
