OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 ==================== System Requirements ------------------ This build was made on a stock YDL 3.0 distribution with gcc 3.2.2 and glibc-2.3.1-51a It will therefore require a late glibc 2.3.1 or glibc-2.3.2 based distribution (such as YDL 3.0, Debian with glibc-2.3.2 or latest Mandrakesoft system) to work properly. Users of YDL 2.X and older distributions should upgrade to glibc-2.3.2 in order to install and use this binary. You will also need over 300 meg of free disk space for the installer and installation. Disclaimer ---------- Please note the usual warnings and disclaimer apply: OpenOffice.org is under continuous development and comes with no warranty of any kind. This binary is simply provided "as is" as a service to the PPC Linux community in case they can not or do not want to create their own binaries.
