qole:

I tried upgrading the openoffice.org-core using lennybackports but I get a message saying it is already at the latest version...
I guess, for now, it is probably best to wait for the Debian folks
to fix things and stick with using the 2.4 version. As it turns out, my work pc has 2.3 because I am required to use CENTOS!

As an exercise, I'd like to try to get ubuntu version working,
(do you know if the equation editor will work on that?)
What is the best way to install the image file you gave the link to?

Thanks again for your help.
