I have downloaded Open Office as file OOo_2.1.0_MacOsXPPC_install_en- US.dmg. When I double click on the icon for this file I get an error message that says: Warning The following disk image failed to mount. Reason not recognized.

I have an iMac PPC. It was running OSX 10.3.9 when I downloaded Open Office and tried to install it the first time and got this error message. Since then I have installed OSX 10.4.2 and X11 from the install disc. I have launched and configured X11 as instructed in Howto_OOo_2.0_MacOSX_english.pdf, except that I was not able to complete section 1.6 in this instruction on How to get rid of the Xterm that starts without asking. When I typed in the instructed command line and pressed return I was asked for a password. I typed in the password that I use for everything else on this computer, but it was not accepted.

When I type in X -version in the xterm window I get: XFree86 Version 4.4.0 / X Window System

I downloaded Open Office again, the version for OSX 10.4 Tiger, and I get the same error message when I double click on the download file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steve
