------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Jun 14 01:55:53 +0000 2008 ------- Around 2.4.0 there was a layout change on the download.openoffice.org web pages with a noticeable increase in the number of people asking how to download OOo without JRE. Here are some specific observations. 1. The download page used to (if I remember correctly) always ask about the JRE, but now it assumes the JRE. 2. The link http://download.openoffice.org/other.html#en-US hides the JRE option just above the fold. What is the point of #en-US ? All the languages point to the same spot. 3. Even if a person scrolls up on that page, the JRE checkbox is subtle because of its unconventional use. Usually checkboxes are for submissions forms---not links. Combine this confusion with the fact OOo 2.4.x includes old JREs and the JRE is so large, and many people are unhappy. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
