OpenOffice 3

Open Office 3.0 Beta

Thanks to Peter Nikolaidis for pointing out the .deb package for Ubuntu here.

Thanks to Tombuntu.com for the directions on how to get it installed once you untar it.

Install all of the packages in the DEBS subdirectory:

  • sudo dpkg -i BEA300_m2_native_packed-2_en-US.9301/DEBS/*.deb
  • Clean up the downloaded files:
    rm -r BEA300_m2_native_packed-2_en-US.9301/rm -r ~/Desktop/OOo_3.0.0beta_20080429_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz

You WILL need to make a launcher for your application with:

/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice

as the path.

It works!
