Backport for OO.org2 for Sarge


Hey Guys-
I'm running Sarge and I am trying to get OpenOffice.org2 from a backport? Any suggestions of where I might get it? I see that it's at www.backports.org/pending but I can't figure out how to add source.

OOo2.0

U can get it from debian Sid or dl the rpm linux package from OO.org web site and extract file in konsole or terminal with 'tar zxvf' then as root use alien -i *.rpm . U may find rt click on extracted file and chose open in terminal easier. Wait a few minutes until alien does its thing then 'cd desktop-integration' and finally dpkg -i *.deb to get OO2 in main menus for kde and gnome. Good luck.
