I installed this version on a woody machine a couple months ago with no problem, however there is a big difference between woody, testing and unstable. At this time oo is only available in unstable. If you really need oo you will probably need to install openoffice.org-bin from unstable along with all dependencies. That's what I'm running now. -- Dale Hair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
