RE: [suse-linux-uk-schools] OpenOffice.org + MySQL
Thanks Paul. I assume that your 'checks' are what led to me getting an e-mail from 'Pebble Rock'. http://pebblerocklimited.users.btopenworld.com/sun.htm £23 less 17.5% even ! <snip> We are still having some setting up problems with StarOffice6.0 ie. where to put templates, galleries and config files but I'm becoming happier with it as an MSOffice replacement at KS3 and 4. <snip> David, I have an almost glitch-free install put together for OO.o to run over NT/win98, as part of my phased replacement programme. Don't know what OS you are using but if I can give any pointers from what I can remember of my July installation, let me know. I still have one problem left, that of the 'sversion.ini' not holding properly. This still needs fixing, otherwise it seems fine. When the summer holidays arrived, I thought that Sun would be releasing a neat network release for schools before long and I would put that on instead. Obviously, from what you say, the 'distro neato' hasn't appeared.

We also registered for the £25 school site licence scheme and are still awaiting reply for this too. Educational wheels turn very slowly. I expect other people are in the same boat. But maybe not?
I think that you just need to buy the "media pack" and register and that is it but I will check for you. Paul

We are using a mix of 95/98. Any advice for a school installation would be much appreciated. In particular ensuring that configuration settings are not altered. Dave
No probs. Best thing to do though, unless you have a specific question, is that I follow my plan of getting the full SO6 and write down what I do at each step. I will post it all later. I vaguely remember having to delete some of the files on the client build. I also built it as a local package so that I could do the deletion and make it work as I wanted. We run fat-clients but if the overheads are not to weighty we will build as thin, as replication is a lot quicker, if that makes sense. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Williams [mailto:David@williams333.freeserve.co.uk] Sent: 12 November 2002 23:06 To: Bruce Miller Cc: suse-linux-uk-schools@suse.com; ptaylor@uklinux.net Subject: Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] OpenOffice.org + MySQL On 12 Nov, Bruce Miller <mail@brucemiller.co.uk> wrote:
