This is also documented on the Wiki here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Administration_Guide/Linux (look for the Debian based install section) which basically says the same as what Jonathan outlined above. There is also more info here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Installing_on_Debian_based_Distros and even more detailed info here: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=68 C. -- Clayton Cornell [email protected] OpenOffice.org Documentation Project co-lead StarOffice - Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Hamburg, Germany --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
