Any one downloaded OpenOffice 2.2 from Sun and installed it?

yes

I have downloaded and installed OO for years.

An rpm build for openSUSE? As a RPM from Sun directly

That's the *wrong* answer. As they are available and cutting-edge, why do you (and many other people) insist on using rpms not build for your distro and/or complying and causing other problems that may or may not appear sometime in the future? RPMs MADE FOR openSUSE are available: http://repos.opensuse.org/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/<your-distro-goes-here>/ also available: http://repos.opensuse.org/OpenOffice.org:/UNSTABLE/<your-distro-goes-here>/ and http://repos.opensuse.org/OpenOffice.org:/EXTRAS/<your-distro-goes-here>/ A lot of intellegent people are wasting a lot of their valuable time trying to provide packages that will *work* correctly with your (your meaning openSUSE users) system if the packages are not going to be used. The other (non-openSUSE specific) packages and of a generic nature made to work *mostly* with *most* systems (in most cases). openSUSE systems havee been patched annd manipulated to "work better" for you and packages need to respect those alterations. again: Replied to list. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
