I went here
http://people.debian.org/~rene/openoffice.org/test/arm/
For the arm port... but before I do anything, I notice the installer weighs in at 70mb. So, if OpenOffice is installable on the Z, how much hard disk space are we talking?
Also, if it is installable, anyone care to do a round-up of what's needed and how it's done?
Thanks

I used that installer on debian. It's the same that's been used for "X/Qt - openoffice".
If I remember correctly, it used about 210Mb.
But,
The installer doesn't work for me.
First it said "no more space in /tmp". I moved /tmp to my card. Now it tries to show the "installing..." screen, then it segfaults.
Anyone more luck ?

Would you be able to write a "how to" to explain to others exactly how you got to that point, giving links and things to all the packages needed and explaining the steps you've taken so far? I'd really appreciate it, because I could attempt myself and also others could make a similar attempt, the easier it is for people to follow in the footsteps, the more likely it is that someone might work out the correct route to take.
Thanks!!

I'll try to :
Start [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=9654&hl=debian%20on%20pdaxrom&st=30]here (goto post 41 and keep on reading)[/url]. That's how openoffice on Z started.
Now about running it natively on pdaxrom :
I tried to use the same installer. It needs glibc 2.3 (attached in this thread).
(BTW : to try yourself : download the installer, extract files from the tar.gz, in an aterm : go to where you extracted the files, cd to the dir with the files, run ./setup).
On pdaX I received the message : /tmp/... out of disk-space.
So I removed /tmp (symlink to /var/...), created a dir called tmp on my card, then created a new /tmp pointing to /mnt/card/tmp.
Then the installer can extract all the files, it starts the script, when it tries to show the options window, it segfaults. (it doesn't tell you, but ...)
To know what went wrong, I interupted the installer right after unpacking. I looked in /tmp, fount the installer files, moved them somewhere else, tried to run the setup in there -> segfault. (That's how I know)
The other way :
I downloaded the tar.gz created by Meanie. It is based on the same installer, but includes the installed files. I extracted the files, mounted the included cramfs, tried to run the setup in there (which is supposed to install some files in my home = "user installation"). It segfaults when it tries to show the same window.
Hope this helps you a bit,
Chero.
