Hi,

I have a working Linux system based on Debian Sarge,
kernel-2.6.8, KDE and Konqueror 3.2 and Firefox 1.0.
with JRE plugin. Surfing the web with braodband,
filling in online forms are not problems. Now on to
some applications. I need an office package. I have in
mind OpenOffice. Rather than the whole package, I want
to install individual components on a need-to basis. I
need a Wordprocessor and Spreadsheet to start with. Is
it possible to select and install them individually?
Where do I find the proper package name to do a
'apt-get install" for them?

Cheers

ken

U can try:
apt-cache search spread* |more
and
apt-cache search word* |more

this will give you some alternatives

The package to install is openoffice.org. You could find that with something
like 'apt-cache search openoffice'.

You cannot install individual components in OOo 1.1. For version 2 (due out
in March), upstream do support individual packages and the Debian packages
will be split too, but I'm afraid the -core package is far larger than the
components and there will not be big savings. See the package sizes here:
