Please make sure you uninstall v 2.4 first.

Nope, thought about it though so what advantage would debs give over say the source file - will it be easier. ?? will it allow for inconsitency from other dependencies ?? am not sure what problems installing from source will have either. So will try and get hold of the deb and try ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

[ubuntu-in] Question about install software from source versus software from repos
Hi am dual booting ubuntu 7.10 and 9.04. The former because when broadbadn does not work (which is frequently the case) then i need to use 7.10 because it allows me to use a device which does not work on 9.04. Often i need to work on openoffice documents while on the net, so if its a document on 9.04 ooo.org (version 3.x) it mostly crashes while being accessed on 7.10 (ooo.org version 2.4x). I don't want to upgrade 7.10 because the said internet access device (a cdma wll phone) is very very finicky about what kernel it works on. Secondly i find that if i partially upgrade software via apt / synaptic then strange crashes happen in many related software. So am wondering if i am better off installing such software that i will dual use , from source ?? look forward to opinions and advise. thanks ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
