Hello openoffice,
Please can you help me, I am a new user/owner of an imac mini. it is
using the Power PC processor G4 1.33Ghz, 512 DDR SDRAM the OS x
version is 10.4.2 Tiger.
My problem is I cannot seem to install it. I do not have internet
broadband as I live in a rural location.. two tins and wet string
would be best at times!
I got my friend to download Openoffice for me on to CD and attempted
to install it.
I opened up the mac folder and found
OOo_2.0.0rc3_051016_MacosxPPC_install.dmg. I clicked on this and a
wee window appeared with opening OO02 etc...verifying... The bar
graph took a minute or so to reach the end.
All I got was a window with an icon in it with two seagulls on it. I
clicked on this and it put another icon in the task bar which bounced
up and down for a few seconds, then disappeared!
I thought maybe there was something missing from the download so I
bought a cd and extras from uselinux. I again tried to install it,
but exactly the same thing happened. The only difference between the
downloaded version and the bought CD was an installer that had
fondu_04 ericb.pkg written under it. I clicked on this and it
installed OK but didn't appear to do anything to aid installation of
openoffice.
I took said CD to PCWorld in Carlisle from whence I purchased the
imac mini, and asked them to try it. Exactly the same thing happened,
so this proved to me that I wasn't doing something stupid( or am I?)
When I open the icon i can see all the folders
I read on the web site about looking up in the console log, so I ran
it again and have copied what appeared.
It is as follows:

I'm sure this will mean something to you, it means bu***r all to me!
I also had my friend download Neooffice at the same time..just in
case. It works fine but does not appear to have a database, which is
what I wanted really.
I hope you can throw some light on this as I am beginning to think I
made a mistake replacing my ageing PC for the imac mini.
I await your reply with eager!
