Hi, :-)
There is a download of LibreOffice 3.3 beta 3 at:
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/3.3.0-beta3/rp...
There are no instructions about how to install it, and I want to draft
a how-to to be included with the download.
However, I'm an Ubuntu user and I'm not familiar with installing rpm's
any more. Could anyone help me out with precise instructions for
Fedora Core so that the LibO community's newbie users have chance of
success?
Note that it's just "Fedora" now since Fedora 7. ;)
Sure, I'll take a stab...
To provide a framework, here are the instructions applicable to
Debian Ubuntu:
This step is the same:
"1) When you unpack the downloaded archive, you will see that
the
contents have been decompressed into a directory called "en-US". Open
a terminal window, and change directory to the "en-US" directory.
This step the dir is called 'RPMS':
2) The "en-US" directory contains a subdirectory called
"DEBS". Change
directory to the directory "DEBS".
This should be:
su -c 'yum install *.rpm'
3) Then run this command (you will be prompted to enter your root
user's password):
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
This step doesn't appear to be needed, there is no desktop-integration
directory for the rpm based install...
4) dpkg does the first part of the installation process. Now change
directory to the "desktop-integration" directory that is within the
"DEBS" directory. Run the dpkg command again:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
The installation process is now completed, and you should have icons
for all the LibreOffice applications in your Applications/Office
menu."
Could someone edit the above instructions to work for Fedora Core? A
big thanks in advance for any help... ;-)
Thats a first stab at it. Hopefully some other folks can try it and
expand on it.
