Not really sure about EEE PC, but I think this is an Ubuntu Linux
install and by default then Base ( and Draw ) are not installed. It is
not that they are just not on the menu, they are not installed at all.
That has been my experience with Kubuntu installations anyway.
Again, if it follows my experience with Kubuntu the files for the module
are part of the distribution and all you need do is select them for
installation. Not sure what utilities eee pc supplies for this ( I'm
sure dpkg is available, at least I would assume so ), if it supports
adept then that is the easiest way. Start up adept and just browse for
the openoffice files and you will find the uninstalled Base package,
select for installation.
I hope that helps

Ok - but I have installed 7.1 on half a dozen machines and it never
installs base of draw - although the files are on the disk they are not
setup by default...I don't know why - then again I have used the same
distro disk for each one, so maybe it is something to do with the
specific copy I have...
