Bouncer isn't "lying". It has issues (that are being addressed) but "lying"? Hardly. Perhaps you should actually read the information on the page: http://download.openoffice.org/680/?intcmp=1461 <quote> If the following Bouncer links do not work then please select one of the mirrors listed at the distribution page and download the binary from the ../contrib/rc/3.0.0rc3/ directory or select the no javascript page. For localized installation sets please visit one of the extended mirror sites listed here: http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors#extmirrors and select the directory ./extended/3.0.0rc3/ </quote> Hmmm... advises me to try a mirror, ok: http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/ select one close to David Lowe: ftp://openoffice.cs.utah.edu/pub/openoffice/ look in "../contrib/rc/3.0.0rc3/ directory" as advised: ftp://openoffice.cs.utah.edu/pub/openoffice/contrib/rc/3.0.0rc3 look for a 64bit deb... well what do you know: <ftp://openoffice.cs.utah.edu/pub/openoffice/contrib/rc/3.0.0rc3/OOo_3.0.0rc3_20080927_LinuxX86-64_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz> It also advises: Note: Not all mirrors have been confirmed to have the build. so if you don't find it on one mirror, try another. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
