As to your last question, definitely not. In a terminal, just cd into the DEBS directory and then run «sudo dpkg -i *.deb». This procedure worked fine for me with all of the 3.0 builds. Just remember to uninstall earlier versions of OOo 3 beta (*not* 2.4.1) in Synaptic, in the event you have any, prior to carrying out the above.... Henri
