well i trid making a quick appliance out of it but the user interface seems slow and unstable when i run the office. As soon as I start typing in a new document, it crashes and then detects it own crash and tries to backup the sample file.

Since all im doing is mounting the fs, and symlinking the usr/lib/openoffice branch im guessing thats just how it runs within maemo os?

Is there another bin to try to use as the default? (couldn't find your treb command) Or maybe i can just try to use its convert to pdf functionality like i do antiword? I'll try that convert to pdf later.

This could either be :
- debian minimal chroot (debian libs)
- maemo minimal chroot (maemo libs)
- something like what i did (for simplicity), a graft (my term) where the filesystem is mounted and you symlink any directories which need to be in particular places. My latest isomount supports this and i build symlink in the init.sh and teardown in the shutdown.sh (both run as root), and run the modified owo.sh in autorun-user.sh which runs as user
