mscion: If I had known that Debian was going to pull openoffice.org from their repositories, I would have grabbed all of the packages and made my own little repo for this kind of thing.

Basically, to enable Backports, you have to follow the instructions in the link I gave above.

1. Enable the www.backports.org line in /etc/apt/sources.list (this may already be the case in the v3b image)
2. Use either apt-get or aptitude to install:

Code:

apt-get -t lenny-backports install openoffice.org-math

Code:

aptitude -t lenny-backports install openoffice.org-math

That should upgrade openoffice.org and the equation editor to 3.0
