Sorry, forgot to add that if you are using debian and want to use the procedure to install from an rpm tz then you (at least on Ubuntu) only need to install the 'rpm' package, as it includes rpm2cpio etc., so: sudo apt-get install rpm Then follow the instructions - substituting the tz name for whatever you are extracting. Drop me a note off-list if you need more help. I currently have the following installed on this system (Ubuntu 7.10): Linux: 1. Ubuntu (U)OOo 2.3.0 - installed as the regular package 2. Standard OOo 2.3.1 - installed as a parallel in a home folder. 3. Standard OOo 2.4.0 - installed as a parallel in a home folder. 4. Standard OOo 3.0 Beta (M2) installed as a parallel in a home folder. 5. Standard OOo 3.0 Beta M14 installed as regular package in /opt folder. 6. go-oo OOo 3.0 Beta (flr's) installed as a parallel in a home folder Windows (Win2KPro): 1. Standard OOo 2.4.0 installed 2. go-oo OOo 3.0 Beta installed --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
