OO2.0 .debs installed! (was: OpenOffice 2.0 install from .deb?)
Opus wrote: So, how do I get the OpenOffice 2.0 .deb files installed on my system? Many thanks to Steef, Felix, and Anthony, all of whom replied that dpkg -i filename.deb as root was the answer. It worked perfectly and I now have OpenOffice.org 2.0 running on my Debian Sarge system with 2.6 kernel. Because there were several (okay, a lot) of .deb files involved, I actually used dpkg -i -R directory_name and it just worked. I am once again pleasantly amazed by both this mailing list and Debian. -- Andy Anderson Salisbury, MD, USA http://www.slowlanecafe.com A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. - Anonymous -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

OpenOffice 2.0 install from .deb?
I downloaded the Linux binaries for OpenOffice 2.0 from OpenOffice.org and found that they are in RPMs. I managed to figure out that I needed to install alien, which I did, and have now converted the RPMs to DEBs, but I don't know what to do with the DEB files. I'm running Sarge with a 2.6 kernel and I do updates using Aptitude about once a week. So, how do I get the OpenOffice 2.0 .deb files installed on my system? -- Andy Anderson Salisbury, MD, USA http://www.slowlanecafe.com A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. - Anonymous -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Use dpkg (as root) to install .debs. e.g. $ sudo dpkg -i package-name.deb or $ su - $ dpkg -i package-name.deb You could also try to use OO.org 2.0 from unstable, but I suppose you're using stable for a reason. Maybe a backport will be available in the near future ... Felix -- Felix C. Stegerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature. -- R.
