photoworks Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Where can i find open Office 2.0 for Mandrake (i mean the rpms) ? And then how to install it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Use the rpms from OOo (link). Install every one of the rpms (except the redhat and suse ones) with rpm -ivh *. Don't use urpmi because the dependencies are off. It will install in /opt/something where you will find startup scripts like swriter (or oowriter I dont remember exactly). Doubleclick those or run them from a console. (later you can add them to the startmenu) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naim89 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Note that at the moment, OpenOffice.org 2.0 is still in beta testing. The RPMs you download will be version 1.9 because it is still in beta testing, for the upcoming 2.0 stable release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devries Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Put them all in one folder, open a console, login as root, cd to that folder and type: rpm -ivh * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoworks Posted April 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Does anyone knows when the stable version is going to be available in rpms ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Well, according to development.openoffice.org, the final release is planned for May/June, so some time after that. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photoworks Posted April 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 i just installed the beta version of OpenOffice and i am happy because contrary to the previous version (where the menu on top of the application were appearing as dash) this one works well. :D :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
