So go to ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/software/openoffice/ and grab that ppc linux installer. It should function fine on a Debian system. You can also grab the Balckdown jre (or jdk) 1.3.1 to use with it (and to provide the mozilla java plugin for systems with mozilla built with gcc 3.2.X Hope this helps, Kevin On February 25, 2003 12:37 pm, Leandro Guimarães Faria Corsetti Dutra wrote: > I tried to use OpenOffice in my Debian PowerPC testing system to no > avail... > > Seems like I can't use the unstable version for lack of dependencies. > The woody package doesn't work because the PowerPC versions are too old, > not compatible with the architecture-neutral ones. > > Any solution besides waiting for it to trickle down to testing or > upgrading to unstable?
