This sounds encouraging. New logos, too .
I am looking forward to coolpup's new .txz files(s). Including help when available.

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/LibreOffice
is the place for the latest LibreOffice 3.3.1. Grab the convenient download script there. Run it in terminal to put it into /mnt/home/. Since that was vfat in my case I moved it to an ext2 partition, sda2, which I use for such things.
Actually I copied it over the previous install which preserves my huge standard.dic spell check dictionary.
Thanks, coolpup
Here's a new icon set:

LibO_3.3.4 recently released Subject description: wiki update? |
|
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/LibreOffice is where it was convenient to download and install the last LibreOffice version.
However 3.4.0 has been out for a week or so and I haven't seen a single mention of it in the forum. And coolpup seems unavailable by pm.
Any hints for an easy install including help? I normally put it in an ext2 partition outside the save file.
Thanks

Libre Office 3.4 Subject description: How-to for installation to /mnt/home |

Henry you are absolutely right.
If you don't know how to make a pet or a sfs you just have to wait.
Or maybe not.
I have described how to get the latest Libre Office version from their website and install it to Puppy. The post is here and the details are in variante 4:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=65295
What? You can't read this? Too bad.
Haha I can see your face now. But not to worry, here is the translation:
Get the unrpm pet from here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=27067
and the newest Libre Office rpm tar.gz from here
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
Unpack the tar.gz to /mnt/home (Linux partition) or any NTFS partition.
Inside the new Libre Office folder is a RPMS folder. Open it and open a Terminal there. Then enter into the terminal:
Code: | for f in *.rpm; do unrpm $f; done |
This creates a folder opt. Inside is a folder named libreoffice3.4. Move this to /mnt/home and delete the folder with the long name, where that one came from, and the tar.gz if you don't need it anymore.
Inside libreoffice3.4 is a program folder with the starters you'd need. Drag them to the desktop and you are in business.
The folder libreoffice3.4 can also go to /opt or to any NTFS partition. It won't work on a FAT partition.
And to assure you: I just did the procedure with LO 3.4 and it works!
Much success.
