Info. on How to Install OOo v.3.2?

[Maxime Alarie]

Well No offense but  I wont download a 200MB software, install it, then
send the installation logs to someone when all they have to do is RTFM
on how to un/install it.

I admit I did write at the tip of my head because I installed OOo3.2  a
couple weeks ago.. I just not remembered you had to dkpg -i *.deb once
you uncompress it...  for that im sorry.

regards

Please bottom post on list this - thanks :-)

Sigh... Yes you first extract/unzip/'tar zxvf' etc. & you'd still not be
able to use the command that you suggested:

$ sudo dpkg -i OOo_3.2.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz

You'll also note that once extracted/unziped/'tar zxvf'ed that the .gz
creates the /OOO320_m12_native_packed-1_en-US.9483/DEBS/
folders.

*Please* before you suggest such "simple" instructions, try them out
yourself first. Thanks.
