It has the same DTS because it is the same image. The Extras has not been 
updated, simply because all the templates etc. that I have are already on it. 
Open Clip Art may perhaps have been updated, but finding out if it is would 
require a download and inspection. I don't have the time for that at present 
(and bandwidth is a slight problem too...).

Which Windows installer? The OO.o installer, or the Open Clip art installer? I 
actually cannot check too easily, and even then it will be with Win XP Pro 
under VMWare.

So complain to the Open Clip art people. I have included their stuff because I 
believe that clip art is needed by many (most?) users. Had I the time and 
expertise, I would prefer to create an installer which simply copies all the 
clip art files (well, perhaps not the Xfig and SVG files :) ) to the relevant 
OO.o directory. Anyone who would like to create such an installer is welcome. 
An RPM and/or Deb package to do the same wouldn't go astray either.

Last entry in the Platform (second drop-down) reads "Multiplatform Install 
ISO" and leads to the Win-Lin-Mac ISO. Solaris and the Extras are not in the 
list (as far as I can see, that is).
