Well, I downloaded OpenOffice.org 3.2 RC1 from the
http://www.openoffice.org/ site, unpacked and installed from a
terminal with ”dpkg -i *.deb” in the DEBS folder and then the same
thing in the ”desktop-integration” folder.

Well every time I use the dpkg -i command, the scrolling messages all seem
to be "skipped . . . . ", i.e. it skipped all of the .deb packages. Of course, some times with the .sh file "install", the shell program created a folder with the files in it and I cannot edit any .xml files or delete the files or folders. I keep getting the error that I am not the owner of the files or the folder and do not have the permission to
to do the commands I typed in [or through the GUI folder viewing package]

Well, with Linux I will wait for a while hoping for 3.2 to come to one of my repositories. For Windows, I install it in a _beta folder instead of the default Programs Folder. This way I can try 3.2.x without messing with 3.1.1. Also this way I can compare the two
"side-by-side" with the same documents.

It would be nice, though, if there is no need to go beyond RC2 before the "official release" come out. It would be great for it to be out by the end of the month, or early February. Then when Ubuntu comes out with its new update and repository,
OOo 3.2 will be in it.

Today Ubuntu finally went from 2.6.31-16-generic to version -17 for the 32-bit Ubuntu and from -14 to -16 for the 64-bit version. As said before in other threads, it takes a few months for Ubuntu to add the newest version of OOo to their repositories.

I will try again, when 3.2 non-RC is out, the dpkg -i *.deb command on both of my Ubuntu systems. I try to make sure the "same version" is installed on the Win Vista laptop, the Ubuntu 64-bit laptop, and the Ubuntu 32-bit desktop server. No more having one with 3.0.x, and another with 3.1.0 and the last one 3.1.1. All are not running
3.1.1 and will be running 3.2 when it comes out.

THANKS for reminding me what the command is for installing the multiple .deb files
that are extracted from the install file. I will write it down again.
