Re: source code installation

[YH <jupiter.hce@gmail.com>]

Thanks Florian. I followed your instruction, but got following result. 
I've tried both with CD and without CD in the driver, but the same result.

# apt-get install openoffice.org
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package openoffice.org is not available, but is referred to by another 
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  ttf-opensymbol openoffice.org-common openoffice.org-core
E: Package openoffice.org has no installation candidate

I do have a CD with all deb packages in 
/media/cdrom0/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/
openoffice.org-base_2.0.4.dfsg.2-5etch1_i386.deb
openoffice.org-common_2.0.4.dfsg.2-5etch1_all.deb
openoffice.org-core_2.0.4.dfsg.2-5etch1_i386.deb
openoffice.org-evolution_2.0.4.dfsg.2-5etch1_i386.deb
openoffice.org-java-common_2.0.4.dfsg.2-5etch1_all.deb
ttf-opensymbol_2.0.4.dfsg.2-5etch1_all.deb

How should I install them and which one I should install?

Thank you.

Jim
