See: http://www.8daysaweek.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=759 You can skip steps 2 - 4. Don't forget #1 - it is critical. And for #6: sudo dpkg -i openoffice.org-debian-menus_2.#.#-#_all.deb instead you can use: $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb [there is only 1 .deb file in the folder] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
