Zephyroth rev2 OpenOffice X11 etc

[klaatu]

I'm very new to all this. I've installed Zephyroth 10.5.2 rev2 and all seems to be working very well - great job!

I'd like to install OpenOffice, and I gather I need to install X11 first. I don't remember there being an option to install X11 during the installation, so do I have to get X11 from somewhere else?

Generally speaking X11 doesn't work on AMD, if you really want it working search this forum I put a link somewhere to the Quartz version which works to some degree, but personally I think you might be better trying neo office, or wait for the new release of open office that will run on osx

[klaatu]

OK - thanks for that, I'll have a look at neo office. I take it this means I won't be able to run Darwine either?

But, if you're brave, you can try to get X11 working. I have it working completely, but OpenOffice itself is a bit of a pain in the ass to get to run. I'm still trying to make that work.

i just use microsoft office for mac
it works great

jbeckers, X11 seems to be running fine here on my AMD machine as well.

Darwine works fine, but OpenOffice, as you described, doesn't really work flawlessly. The first introduction wizard gets stuck at some point.

where can i get the newest x11 for leopard at
thanks

[Puttabong]

I chose the optional package 'X11' when I installed zephyroth's release, as far as I remember.

[bhast2]

where was that option at

[klaatu]

I don't think there is an X11 option, in rev2 anyway.

[bhast2]

there wasn't where can i get it at

bhast2:there wasn't where can i get it at
off revision 1?
install with pacafist?

[bhast2]

i would have to download the whole r 1 just to get x11
there has to be a better way
nevermind i found my r1 disc

Sorry just assumed you had a copy.
Yep I'm sure theres a better way, give me a few minutes I'll see if you can extract it as a package from disk.

[Ianxxx]

I can extract the folder with all the pieces in it, "off kalyway disc" you would have to put them in the right locations manually.
thing is zipped its 17.5mb, do you have somewhere I can send it to you?

[bhast2]

i found my copy forgot i had one
it is installed now

[Ianxxx]

ok

[bhast2]

but thanks for offering the files

[Ianxxx]

No probs ;-)

[klaatu]

I'd be interested in that :-)

Could you email it to me, please? And if so, how can I send you my email address privately? Can I use this "whisper" thing?
