Sorry, I should add that the openoffice.org package is only a 13.9Mb download & it seems to me that Ubuntu could have left something else off the default packages in order to include this on the installer CD. Note that it is also left off the DVD as well... so you might want to file a bug on launchpad. I suspect there already is one, so search launchpad first. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
