You can download OOo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz here: http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownl...nload-253.html This is a binary install, not a source install. So you cd to where the download file is and install it with this command: tar -xzf OOo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz ------------------------- Steve Stites |

You need to uninstall any old versions of OpenOffice.org that you have, untar the OOo 2.0 packages and install the rpms as root. If you don't know exactly what to do then post back with the exact path where you saved the OOo 2 package. |
ok i untarred the 00o package and put it in the /home/michael/Documents/
and i renamed the OOo package to "OpenOffice"[no quotes] |
how to i upgrade this using EasyUrpmi that i just downloaded?

Code:
#cd /home/michael/Documents/OpenOffice/RPMS |

heres what i got when i typed that in.... Code:
[michael@localhost ~]$ su |
So where exactly is the OOo directory because that error means the directory does not exist. When you downloaded the tar.gz file and extracted it, you should have ended up with a directory called OOO680_m3_native_packed-2_en-US.8968 is that the one you renamed to OpenOffice?
