I've got 1 hour 45 minutes left on the estimated time for my install of suse linux and i'm only about 45% through cd 1. DAMN!!! I have a slow computer to fuck around with. I'll post again when it's done installing.

Talk to you on Saturday, then.

Yipee. It's installed and running. I've been fucking around with pingus and under a steel sky. I need some help though. Open office wouldn't install when i was on disc two so i figured i'd skip it and come back to it later, well, it's now later and I cant figure out what to do now. Oh, and open office refuses to burn to cd so that option is out. (damn drive, everytime i need it it stops working). It's not connected to the internet yet. Assuming i don't wanna use about 60ish floppies and can't burn it to cd, will i just have to suck it up and wait or is there some way to get it off the cd i got from the box, mabye using YaST Or some such?

Damn, I was off by a couple of hours.

You could attempt to copy the OpenOffice RPMs to your hard drive and install them that way. I don't know how SuSE packages them up, though, since I'm using Fedora.

I'll probably spend a few hours trying to find them tommorow.

Or you could just DL the official OO builds from openoffice.org. I've never used SuSE so I don't know if there is any form of automatic dependency handling. Anyways, get apt-rpm after stuff is set up- phong might help you with that, since I don't use it.

Oh, and the game is beneath a steel sky, not under. Anyway, I hate point and click games like this, since it is impossible to spot some of those 3px by 3px objects on the screen.
