Yes. Are you able to parse English? > A single download fully ready to install only takes up about 120 MB of > disk space. That will easily fit on a CD. OOo-ZA-2.0 requires 180 MB for the windows version. The Linux versions of OOo provided by translate.org.za run 125 MB per language. OxygenOffice Professional 2.2 comes in at 323 MB for Linux, 318MB for Unix, and 295 MB for Windows. Single language versions come in at roughly 200 MB for Linux and Unix, and 185 MB for Windows. > The rest of that stuff you mentioned is easy enough to download. If the idea is customer convenience, then the rest of the stuff is at least desirable. Easy to download does not equate to being easy to locate on the Internet. (How many people can find the Project Management tools for OOo? Or the translation addons for OOo? Or the 64K color palette? Or the Gencom translator?) >It is not necessary to burn a copy for all operating systems By providing binaries for all (major) platforms, product returns due to platform incompatibility is minimized. >or the addons Perhaps not required, but those are the things that people notice.

There is less legal risk to the organization, by including source code, than not including source code --- E&O insurance won't cover lawsuits resulting from non-inclusion of source code. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
