I downloaded Open Office 3 Beta and got a .tar.tar file. Right clicking it, one of the options was to extract, which I did. I them got a directory BEA300_m2_native_packed-2_en-us.9301.
Assuming the key to installing this package was to open the directory and to find something to install, I opened it and found four directories; installdata, licenses, readmes, and RPMS along with 3 files; javasetup.jar, setup, and update.
I read the readme just in case it would give me a clue on how to install the application (I really am a Linux newbee, I simply do not know how to do it). There was no installation information there).
So jumping right in, I clicked on the setup file. One of the things that was opted was Run. I Ran.
A Black Box opened on the screen with an error message ... Failed to extract Java Runtime Environment files....Press Return to continue ...
I return and the black box goes away but nothing else happens.
I also tried a few other things including an attempt to open javasetup.jar, but was not sucessfull.
Obviously I do not know what the heck I am doing. Can anyone help me out?
