Now I might be missing something here but there are at least two other choices: a) as Chris Halls enlighted debian-user earlier today: edit /etc/openoffice/autoresponse.conf and change JavaSupport=preinstalled_or_none to JavaSupport=none then: rm -r .sversionrc .openoffice openoffice b) install OpenOffice with tarball to /usr/local. That will not require any additional, manual non-deb install of any java-thingy. -- Note that I use Debian version 3.0 Linux emac140 2.4.17 #1 sön feb 10 20:21:22 CET 2002 i686 unknown Hans Ekbrand
