Fred,<br> <br> I'm pretty sure you have ubuntu installed, right? I'm not certain that it is available yet through the package manager, but there is a great chance that it is, which would make it much easier for you to install. <br> <br> Do..<br> ---<br> apt-get update<br> apt-cache search OOo <br> --<br> Look for the 2.0.4 version. When you find it, type in <br> <br> apt-get install <packagename><br> <br> Replace <packagename> with whatever the package's name is.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/19/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Lachniet, Mark</b> <<a href="mailto:mlachniet@sequoianet.com">mlachniet@sequoianet.com </a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div> <div dir="ltr"> <div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">You'll need to unzip it, then run the installer....  Change to the directory where it is and type</font></div> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2">tar -xzf OOo_2.0.4_Linuxintel_install.tar.gz</font></div> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2">Then look at whatever file(s) pop out of it.  Probably one is an installer.  Say its called setup.  You may then need to do </font></div> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2">chmod u+x setup</font></div> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2">(but maybe not)</font></div> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2">Then run the installer...</font></div> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2">./setup</font></div> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2">This is the standard way things work but your installer might be slightly different.  See <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/instructions.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/instructions.html</a></font></div> <div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div></div> <div> <div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"><font face="Times New Roman">Mark Lachniet<br>Technical Director, Security Group<br>Analysts International<br>(517) 336-1004 (voice)<br>(517) 336-1160 (fax)<br>mailto: <a href="mailto:mlachniet@analysts.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> mlachniet@analysts.com</a></font><br></font></div></div> <div dir="ltr"><br> <hr> <font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:ajbruey@aol.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">ajbruey@aol.com</a><br><b>Sent:</b> Thu 10/19/2006 7:50 AM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> linux-user@egr.msu.edu</a><br><b>Subject:</b> [GLLUG] Open office intallation<br></font><br></div><div><span class="e" id="q_10e608f0fa3bd20f_1"> <div> <div> I thought I'd be able to make it tonight but I can't.
