For heaven's sake, be patient. It was only just released today. You don't suppose it might take longer than twenty minutes to spin a 2.0 RPM?
Well, it's been at least 10 hours now, since it was released. ;-)
Well, you know those Suse guys; always sleeping at the wheel. Oh, wait; that's the MS guys. ~James

Hey guys, lay off our poor developers. Even though I'm also waiting for OOo 2_00, I would certainly like to give our developers some time to do it. They're human too, you know... Shriramana.

All they need is some cold pizza and Jolt. They've already had 12 hours! ;-)

Well I'm sure if you send them some pizza and Jolt (whatever that is) they won't mind doing the RPM for you...
Jolt is a very high caffine cola, favoured by programmers and hackers. ;-)

The only time I saw or heard of Jolt was about 8 years ago. A contractor where I worked drank the stuff like water. As I recall, it's a cola flavored soft drink without about 4 or 5 times the caffeine as Coke. Sort of like Espresso powered cola. Greg Wallace
Why not get OpenOffice 2 directly from Openoffice.org if you are in such a hurry? You get a tar.gz file of about 103mb; when unpacked, it contains rpm's, and even a SuSE menu rpm. It works just fine. I don't think you'll get anything else if you wait for the SuSE rpm. fx

Is it just a case of rpm -Uvh openoffice*.rpm ? Or are certain packages not required to be installed? Maccy

How about just: rpm -Uvh *.rpm

The "--test" option will warn you if a package has already been installed so you can move it. If you want to keep the .rpm as a backup, make a subdirectory "installed" and move it there. "--test" will also tell you if a dependency isn't being met or if a conflict exists with another or already installed package. Since "--test" doesn't actually implement any changes, it just does a trial run, it gives you the opportunity to fix problems in advance. - Carl

Well sure, if I didn't have a load of rpms in that directory that I've already installed.
....and it didn't really answer my question :)
yes, cd to the directory where you've unpacked the archive, sa root, rpm -Uvh *.rpm. On my system, the rpm's installed in /opt/Openoffice.org2.0, while the previous version, provided by SuSe 10, was in /usr/lib/OO2 or something like that. I just deleted the previous beta version, ans changed the path of my desktop icon, and that was it. fx

I went into the RPM directory and, as root, entered rpm -i openoffice* --nodeps. I then installed the suse custom rpm. I suppose it would have been better, to use yast -i, rather than rpm -i.

Since you're installing on SUSE, you probably don't need the Red Hat or Mandrivel stuff. ;-)

There's one in KDE too. It's part of the OO package. To start from a command line, you enter oooqs. It should also be available somewhere in the "SUSE" menu, but I can never remember where.

One thing I've noticed, is that you can always find that sort of thing when you don't need it. However, when you want to use it, it will disappear. ;-)

Did you use the SUSE version of OO? That where it is.

"System," then "Desktop Applet." Choose the loader and off ya go. You can also bring up a konsole and simply start oooqs manually. Fred -- Paid purchaser of ALL SuSE Linux releases since 6.x
