Blind, same here too or may be it depends on which mirror is used. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and Keen Flyer =====ALMOST ALL LINUX USED HERE, Solaris 10 SPARC is just for play=====

Yep, worked nicely here also as did openoffice.org1.9.65 (pre2.0). Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and Keen Flyer =====ALMOST ALL LINUX USED HERE, Solaris 10 SPARC is just for play=====

Relax - you're not going blind! But they don't really seem to be pushing the 2.0 builds yet (since there may be bugs etc in them), so they're only listed in the development section. Go to: http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html and download the Linux tarball (95M) from a mirror - the release number currently is 1.9.m65. Untar that, and you get a load of rpms. Delete the one called update-redhat-user-menus, just in case. Then go to root, and run rpm -Uvh *.rpm. Then (I did this as user) cd /opt/openoffice.org1.9.65/program and run ./update-suse-user-menus. You can then select the individual OOo apps from SUSE -> Office -> More Programs. This is on 9.2. I have to be honest and admit that I haven't done more than have a brief look at the actual apps - in fact, Writer doesn't seem all that different. An article in this month's (UK) Linux Magazine, though, has a nice summary of the changes. Impress seems to be the one most changed, and of course there is now Base (a db frontend). You can use tables in Writer, and have more control over printing in Calc. The previewer also says that OOo now looks more like Microsoft Office, but I wouldn't know. I am impressed with how easy the OOo people are making it to experiment with this stuff. That's a key factor in increasing penetration. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rhydd yn Gymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD!

They told you that would happen, if you didn't stop doing it. ;-)
Hehehehehe.....cute. The mirrors have RPMS inside an archive for version 1.9, however, the OO "core" RPM is bad, so it won't install. Fred -- The only bug free software from MickySoft is still shrink-wrapped in their warehouse..."
