Just to be a bit oblique since I'm being more of a generic Linux response, not OO.o specifically. Ubuntu (Kubuntu, ...) are all distributed in a live CD format that limits what can be available out of the box. Some other Linux distros provide installation DVDs. But, Canonical (Ubuntu's parent company) maintains full archives of many of the products that might not be available on the CDs. And, this is also true on other Linux distros. -- -- Jerry Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
