[users] Open Office for Mac OS 9.2
Hi, Can I install Open Office for earlier versions of Mac? The one in http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/x11.html is for newer versions of Mac OS. We still have an old Mac G4 with Mac OS 9.2, and I would like to use Open Office there. How/where can I download an Open Office version I can use for the older version of Mac OS? Thank you very much!

I'm afraid there's no solution for OS 9 either in OpenOffice.org, or in NeoOffice. If it's a G4, why don't you upgrade to OS X? greetz -- Guy -- please reply only to users@openoffice.org -- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you want to use OOo, you can install a Linux partition on your hard drive. Most major distributions will run on a Mac if you get the PPC version. OOo come bundled with these distributions as well.

Re: [users] Open Office for Mac OS 9.2
If there is anyone from Sun keeping an eye on this list, how about digging up an old version of Star Office for Mac OS 8/9 users. I know it's not really where folks should be and on any G4 I would think that OSX would be a better choice than OS 9 (as you can still run pretty much everything in classic mode and migrate slowly) but it would offer these users a choice they don't have now and even give the folks still running on 68000 chips a solution.

Thank you to everyone who replied to my query! If I move to OSX, I would need to buy license? Are they selling this for an old G4?

At the Apple site (www.apple.com), it sells for 129 $ and following hardware requirements are mentioned: * PowerPC G5, G4 or G3 processor * Built-in FireWire * DVD drive is required for installation * At least 256MB of physical RAM So it works on G4, but I don't know whether your computer has a FireWire connection (to do what, I might ask??), and more importantly: a DVD drive (since OS X comes on a DVD, not CDs) If you don't have the DVD drive (could be external I suppose) or the money, I'd suggest you follow Dan's idea, and make a Linux partition on your hard disk. You probably will need some advise on how to do this, but I'm sure the Linux community will help you out. Linux isn't as difficult as it may seem at first.

You will need to buy a copy of osx from Apple, if there is a "real" apple dealer in your area, you might want to ask them for help -- you will not need to buy anything from Open Office.
