hi chris, when i try to install openoffice-bin.org i get the following message: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: openoffice.org-bin: Depends: libfreetype6 (< 2.1.0) but 2.1.3-4 is to be installed however version 2.1.0 is already the newest in stable and the mirror site i included in the sources list is meant to be able to apt-get openoffice that will work under stable. i guess not then. cheers Marta
