As *nix-nitwitt, I am attempting to install 3.0 Beta.
Following this instructions:

this give the result:
cpio: You must specify one of -oipt options.
cpio --help does not make anything clear for me.
Any hint?
All of my systems are debian based, so I can't help with the rpm
commands. But have you checked to ensure that you have:
RPM packages
Before starting, make sure you have GNU tar
(http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/), rpm2cpio (http://www.rpm.org/) and
GNU cpio (http://www.gnu.org/software/cpio/cpio.html).
installed?
I'm working on SUSE Linux atm.
did download rpm packages
and can find cpio and rpm2cpio in .usr/lib/rpm/
So that should be OK.
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
That's quite a lot, however I win with 8 OOo-versions installed on one
XP ;-)
(And some on Linux machines as well.)
But serious again: on SUSE I should use the rmp's, shouldn't I?
Thanks,
Cor
