I'm not quite as green as this scenario implies but I'm green enough to be very dangerous to myself.
=== Start of scenario === On my SuSE 9.3 system I formerly had OpenOffice.org 2.0 Novell Edition build 2.0.0.1. According to what I've read on this list I know that I need to uninstall that before I can properly install OOo version 2.0.3 so I did that. Alright now, I have used the p2p interface to download OOo v2.0.3 for Linux. It gave me file: OOo_2.0.3_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz I make an intelligent(?) guess that I need to extract it so from my KDE desktop I manage to find how to "Extract here..." which creates a directory named: OOC680_m7_native_packed-1_en-US.9044 Looking into that directory I find first of all that it contains a sub- directory named readmes which I guess contains files to be read before I go any further. So I open that sub-directory and find two files which I presume contain the same information in different formats. They are: README_en-US README_en-US.html I choose to read the text file. On the twelfth line of that file I read the following: For latest updates to this readme file, see http://www.openoffice.org/welcome/readme.html Upon going to that page on the web I find that OOo requires some version of Windows. Bummer! I don't believe that. What else am I to not believe? Anyway, I look through both the page on the web and the text file and it tells me nothing about the process of installing this product. It's mostly filled with a solicitation for help with the project. Ok, I decide to look at the RPMS sub-directory and I see 26 rpm files and one more subdirectory which contains one deb file and four more rpm files. I see no instructions as to what to do with any of these files. Now what????? Is there a missing document someplace? There has to be! === End of scenario === I know from past experience that there is an installation document that answers these questions. I just don't recall where to look for it. -- Jim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
