Other Help Topics :: tar gz to uci

Success converting openoffice.tar.gz (66.26 mbytes) to .uci (70.36 mbytes).
Using DSL book page 206 I replaced "zile" with "openoffice". Also had to change "/tmp/user.list" to "/tmp/oouser.list".
Everything now works.
Minor problem.
OO saves Writer and Calc files but with pop-up error windows.
With Writer and Calc files reads:
error saving document
file:///ramdisk/opt/openoffice/user/basic/standard/script.xlb/:general error.
general input/output error.

repeats with "standard/script.xlc". but still saves the file.

Edit. By maximizing the root screen I can avoid using the '\' continuation symbol.

That's because /opt/openoffice is now read-only. You'll have to do some workaround such as a symlink pointing to somewhere writeable, or some program configuration... you could also check other OO uci packages and see what they've done.

If you go past the current line it will just wrap it, so you don't really need to use \ or maximizing the window...

Thanks 'thehatsrule'.
As long as it saves the files I can live with it.

Only need Openoffice when I need to do something more than what I can do with Ted and Siag.

Symlink etc is beyond my knowledge at this point.

Just curious, are you saving your oo files to a writeable disk, such as /mnt/hda?/myfile ??

Hi jpeters,
Just saving files during session to ramdisk/home/dsl. At the end those that I wish to keep I copy to hda3 (storage).

setup:
dsl3.3 frugal lilo toram.
hda1 swap, hda2 dsl image, hda3 storage.
Noticed 'symlink' button on emelfm. How does that work?
