OpenOFfice Installation

[mschraier]

What procedure so I follow to remove the default OpenOffice in Jaunty so that I can install the version from openoffice.org?

You could instead add the OpenOffice PPA, which contains the newest versions of the program:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Follow this tutorial to add it: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging...20repositories

ARe they the complete version or the one that is included in Ubuntu? I would love to totally remove what comes with the install CD and install from their website.

As far as I know, they're like the ones included in Ubuntu, sorry :/

Wouldn't it just work to uninstall the openoffice packages via synaptic and then install the original ones?

Wouldn't it just work to uninstall the openoffice packages via synaptic KPackagekit and then install the original ones?

sudo apt-get remove --purge openoffice

from the terminal

I will give that terminal line a try tonite
