Openoffice 3.2 latest snapshot
Posted: Wed 21 Oct 2009, 19:43
I've just been playing around with the latest developers snapshot of Openoffice.org 3.2 Beta that is due to appear in November as final.
The main visible difference here is the speed of start-up. It's so fast on my system that you can't get to read the splash screen
Cosmetic differences are few, but there is now an option to display menu icons. Plenty of other small but important improvements as well.
This would make a nice sfs package say for 4.4CE
Details and download here:

I installed the debs archive using my Ubuntu Karmic installation.
To access it from Puppy I mounted the partition in which it got installed and then went to the /opt directory where the main DEV300 folder resides. This ran fine in Puppy and a good deal faster than on Ubuntu.
I suspect you could also simply unpack the DEBS archive into your puppy /mnt/home partition and individually install all the debs into Puppy using the package manager. If you do it this way though, you need to ensure that all the necessary debs get installed and that you have enough space in your pup_save. An sfs would certainly be the best solution here though. If I get the time, I'll try to get an sfs built.
