Answering both to Alex and "webmaster": I already knew that download archive. The same link is explicitly mentioned in my original email to the list. The first reasons why I took from there a "Windows portable" version instead of a "native" linux one are already explained in my post: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/linux-and-open-source/how-to-find-and-convert-staroffice-files/ In addition to that, using old live distros has two problems: 1) you must interrupt your other activities until the whole conversion is over, or do other avoidable work (reboot, set up virtual machines with access to the partitions where the files are...) 2) in general, old live cds have the SAME problem, or risk, of old binary releases for Linux, just at a different level: they may need manual tweaking and study of their configuration options to boot on newer computers Marco -- M.
