I installed from the cdrom set, and after I commented out the cd sources to maintain the system from the net. Perhaps is something messed in my system: I've finished yesterday the installation of a new system on a Toshiba laptop, (net installation), from similar sources -excludig cdrom sources- and with a new location for the kde sources: (deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.1/Debian stable main) and the openoffice does not crash anymore, !! BUT THE dpkg -l libc6 commad NOW REPORTS a 2.2.5-11.5 libc6 VERSION ! (But in the fist system I did nothing explicitely to upgrade to the 2.3 !!!???)
