| <h1>Important notes for OpenOffice.org</h1> |
| |
| <p>Please read the notes before downloading and using any OpenOffice.org build.</p> |
| <br /> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><h3>Links to other download websites</h3> |
| <p>Some of the links may refer to the native language download pages. These pages are maintained by the |
| <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/native-lang.html">native language community</a>.</p></li> |
| <li><h3>Mirror server</h3> |
| <p>Many installation sets and language packs can be found also on one of the |
| <a href="http://archive.services.openoffice.org/pub/openoffice-archive/">archive mirror servers</a>.</p></li> |
| <li><h3>Installation instructions</h3> |
| <p><a href="../common/instructions.html">Installation instructions</a> will help you with the first steps. Or see the |
| <a href="http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/">Installation Guide</a> for OpenOffice.org 3.x for detailed |
| instructions. The Installation Guides for <a href="../../documentation/setup_guide2/index.html"> |
| older OpenOffice.org versions</a> are also available.</p></li> |
| <li><h3>Limited availability of languages for specific platforms</h3> |
| <p>Not every language is available for every platform. Due to short resources within the OpenOffice.org Community and |
| Sun Microsystem, Inc. it is not possible to cover all options.</p></li> |
| <li><h3>How to report problems?</h3> |
| <p>Users of any build are encouraged to join the Apache OpenOffice project and report any |
| <a href="../qa/issue_handling/project_issues.html" title="Report any errors, improvements or feature requests"> |
| errors, improvements or feature requests</a>. Especially the <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/qa.html" |
| title="Quality Assurance team">Quality Assurance team</a>) needs help with the the review and investigation of |
| unconfirmed issues.</p></li> |
| <li><h3>MD5 checksums</h3> |
| <p>MD5 checksums are used to verify that a locally downloaded file is exactly the same than on the server. It's a hash |
| value that represents the integrity of data. Please read more <a href="../checksums.html" |
| title="Read in Wiki what Release Candidate means.">how to use it</a>.</p></li> |
