When will Open Office 3 be available for F9?
Thanks.
Go here and get the RPM and install, it's very easy
Thanks for the link! I am a complete newbie with respect to rpms. Is there a tutorial on how to download and install rpms in Fedora?
Thanks
1. Download the 'english' 'RPM' and make a new folder in your home directory called OO-3 and drag the download file into that OO-3 folder.
2. Open a terminal window and do su and password. In terminal , do cd OO-3. Then do a copy and paste into the terminal window of line below. tar -xvf OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz
It will make a new folder OO-3/OOO300_m9_native_packed-1_en-US.9358/RPMS/ .
Then cd OOO300_m9_native_packed-1_en-US.9358/RPMS/ (be sure to do all this in SU Terminal). Then do a ./setup and install will start, follow instructions, When you get to the part "Select Additional Componets" I selected "Optional Componets" this installs everything and do a Next and follow Instructions.
Be sure to do all this in a SU (Super User Terminal) I know these instructions maybe a little confusing, but read carefully.
After install is complete, you find the execute files in the /Menu/Office
