For 2.0 there is no installer, if you double click the icon from the
disk image it will launch X11 and then the application. My thought
was that there was a potential issue running from the disk image,
even with the file moved to the desktop as that does not copy the
package (NVU for example, will not run from a disk image). If a user
is going to run use the application anyway, It makes much more sense
to have an installed version, rather than using a disk image on a
regular basis. If you create a document, save it and then unmount
your disk image, the finder will not mount the image and open the app
for you.

Andy,
There is no need to move any files. Once you double click the dmg
file and the disk icon appears on the desktop, double
click to open it if a window doesn't open automatically. Once
opened, just double click on the installer or package and it
will install or work from there. The dmg is a disk image and when
unpacked you have a usable image mounted on the
desktop. You can move the contents to your hard disk or use as is.
Using from the image is quick and easy and once
closed, the original compressed dmg file is still on your disk if
you need to use it again.
Sorry if some of this is a bit basic, but there are many neophytes
who read this list and may not be familiar with it.
I use both OOo 2 and NeoOffic/J. Both have their charms and foibles.

Ah ha!
Did you try dragging it to you applications folder -- moving a
file from a disk image to the desktop does not copy the package(s)
-- if your memory goes back far enough to remember using some kind
of removable RW media (floppy/zip/Jazz...etc) you will recall that
if you moved a file to the desktop, ejected the media and inserted
it in another mac, the file would disappear from the first
machine's desktop and appear on the second one.
Some Applications seem to run fine from a disk image while other
have issues.
I am sure you answered this question already, but you do have X11
installed
Thanks

Let me correct something I said before.
I must correct what I said about downloading and clicking on the
file and it timing out.
I downloaded the file from the OO website
I clicked on the dmg file
It opened in a window and there was an install file.
I moved the file to the desktop
I clicked on the file
I then get the response: command timed out
Then I click OK, and it quits.
Well, that is the whole sequence.
Ideas...

I have the same setup except I have DSL.
Is it possible that something is wrong with the file which was
downloaded.
Did anyone run the md5 test after the file was downloaded but
before the file was invoked to startup?
The md5 value for OO is posted on the OO website.
The way to run the md5 test from within OS X is to open Terminal
and do:
$ md5 filename
Where filename is the OO file which was downloaded. I recommend
that the md5 test embedded within Apple's disk utility not be
used as it is proprietary and not standard with the accepted md5
algorithm. In brief, if you use Apple's md5, you'll never see a
match with any other md5 value which wasn't generated by Apple
or Apple based routines.
If that is ok, then trying checking one's wires, cables and
connections. If one was using dial-up, there could be lot's of
glitches there. Also just because one may choose a higher
bandwidth for file transfer doesn't mean downloads will be perfect.

Jean-Cristophe,
If you read the guys message, he gives you ALL the details.
Like i also said in my message, after downloading the file from
the website, I click on the file to download it.
After waiting about 30-40 seconds, I get the message that the
other guy wrote:
command timed out
Thats it. We do not get anywhere near actually installing
anything.
