Re: [Sheflug] Open Office Registry?

[James Wallbank <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Peiter (and everyone else),

Thanks for this advice - it worked! Brilliant! NOW I have Open Office
running WITH a Java Runtime Environment (whatever that is...) rather
than with no Java support.

BTW am I the only person to find Sun's interface for downloading Java
rpm's TOTALLY SUCKY? Is the reason that JRE doesn't seem to be included
with Mandrake just because of licensing issues?

Cheers,

James
