When will Open Office 3 be available for F9?

Thanks.

When you upgrade to F10.   :)

I can't speak on the ooo maintainer's intentions on F-9, but I'd venture
that based on history, such a large upgrade is unlikely to happen.

What are the hardware requirements for running F9?

Thanks in advance.

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

Right. Major version upgrades of apps generally don't take place during
a Fedora release. One of the key reasons to upgrade Fedora itself when a
new release is available.

Just remove OO2 using yum, go to the OO.org web site, download
the tar file that contains the OO3 rpms, un-tar it and install the OO3
rpms.

Works just fine...  :-)

Just note that the default user-specific settings and templates are not
in the same local location, so you will likely have to transfer those.

OO3 will be available in F10 if you want to wait or install a current
beta release. Same for rawhide. If you wanted to use those rpms
separately however, I am guessing that there will be dependency issues,
which might make using those rpms more complicated than using the OO.org
versions.

HTH,

A computer...

See:  http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/sn-ArchSpecific.html
for more specific information.  The requirements vary, depending on what 
sort of computer.

Incidentally, that page was the first page found when I did a Google
search using the following three keywords:  f9 hardware requirements

That's just got to be easier to do than to join a mailing list and post
a question.

Oh, and please do not hijack message threads, start a new thread by
creating a new message that is not a reply to another message.  i.e. Do
not press reply on your mail client.  Your message is buried in another
thread, where it won't get seen by some people, will get deleted by
others simply for being in the wrong place, and disrupts the
conversation of the original message thread.  That's three reasons why
you don't do it.

NB:  Hitting reply, erasing the message contents, subject line and
     typing a new one is *not* creating a "new" message.

Create a new message by using the "create new message" feature of your
mail client, and fill in the email address to send it to.  Or, click on
the list address in an existing message, which will create a new message
unrelated to the one that you've picked on.

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

I forgot to mention if you have any old Office apps installed, Remove them.
Do you use Yumex, a package Updater-Installer-Remover , for newbie it is 
easy to see all the packages.

If you want insall it, as SU terminal  type,  yum install yumex.

Thanks very much for the instructions. I doubt that I would have got all
this right on my own. I try to run all yum stuff in a console logged in
as root, so su scope problems are not an issue for me.

Hi list

Is there any repository for OOO3 for Fedora?
When OOO3 will be added to the officiel repository?

Thanks for any input

This has already been asked and answered several times. OO3 will be in
Fedora 10, comimg in November.

Please don't top-post on this list. See the Guidelines at the end of
