I am stuck working in Thailand, and have been trying to install OOO on
a friend's laptop.
The Linux distro that was most compatible with her ancient Vaio was PCLOS.
But the "Get Open Office" module has been running now for THREE DAYS...
at 1200-2200 bps (that is BYTES, not kilbytes!). This is thanks to a
.NL server it is locked into.
Finally it looked like it finished but THEN says it needs URE at
174mb, and THIS will ake 3 more days!
I tried on my newer laptop and the speed is the same, despite getting
avg 423kbps elsewhere
to/from Europe and USA... so this server is obviously overtaxed.
QUESTION: Can I just download this somewhere and stuff it in the APT cache?
I checked http://download.openoffice.org/2.4.0/ure.html but the page
is not clear to me.
That is diplomacy on my part. :)
DETAILS: The target says OOO 1.4, but that does not exist? The files
in apt cache, however
are all OOO 1.3x. What the download is afternow says:
"openoffice.org-ure 1.51-94"
We have a good national mirror here with all linux flavors AND ope office repos,
but I am presuming this PCLOS method might need a specific set instead
of a single RPM.
Thanks a HEAP in advance
This looks like a question about OOo as distriubted by the relevant
Linux distro. The generic OOo, as available from
<http://download.openoffice.org/> contains everything that is needed in
one big bunch (of Linux deb or rpm packages, etc.). (Internally, OOo is
logically split into various parts, one of which is URE. That part
could be useful independently of OOo, so it used to be offered as an
individual download, too. Distros also typically split OOo into a small
number of packages, according to their taste/needs.)
