You are waaay ahead of the curve if you have 3.0 installed, version
1.1rc hasn't even been released, offically, yet.
I have OpenOffice.org 1.0.3 and 1.1Beta2 both installed. They installed
without a problem using apt-get.
With this in your sources.list
# OpenOffice Packages
deb http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.vpn-junkies.de/openoffice/ unstable main contrib
do
dselect update then
apt-get -t unstable install openoffice.org1.1 openoffice.org1.1-bin
openoffice.org1.1-l10n-en
The only thing I can't get working is the linkup to JRE1.4. Other
then that its works just fine.
