<P>The chart reimplementation is still ongoing. Be aware that this version is a
Beta and still contains a lot of bugs, missing features and maybe
incompatibilites. So don't use it for&nbsp;regular work. If you create
documents with this version do not distribute or keep them as they might not be
correctly loaded in official builds. As this is a developer snapshot&nbsp;build
it should not conflict with your normal OpenOffice.org version on your
computer. Please don't use the 'online update' feature as this will not work
with the developer snapshot.</P>

<H2 class="western">How to install:</H2>
<P>Just extract and start:</P>
<H4>Windows:</H4>
<P>Just exrtact the zip file to YOURDIRECTORY and start
YOURDIRECTORY\openoffice_chart2_milestone9\program\soffice.exe</P>
<H4>Linux:</H4>
<P>Just exrtact the tar.gz file to YOURDIRECTORY and start
YOURDIRECTORY/openoffice_chart2_milestone9/program/soffice</P>
<H4>Solaris:</H4>
<P>Just exrtact the tgz file to YOURDIRECTORY and start
YOURDIRECTORY/openoffice_chart2_milestone9/opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice</P>
<H2 class="western">Multi-User Installation:</H2>
<P>Note, that the installation is intended for single-user usage.
The user configuration is stored inside the installation path,
so users can usually not access the configuration, because they
do not have the correct file permissions. Besides, no more than
one user should access the configuration at a time.</P>
<P>The advantage of having this is that de-installation works like
described below, by just removing the entire
installation-directory.</P>
<P>To allow multi-user installation you have to patch the
<code>&lt;ooo-installation-path&gt;/program/bootstraprc</code>
(on Windows the file is called <code>bootstrap.ini</code>). Do
the following change in this file:</P>
<pre>
- UserInstallation=$ORIGIN/../.ooo-dev2
+ UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.ooo-dev2-chart2mst9
</pre>
<P>This will install the user configuration in the user's home
directory in a hidden subdirectory
<code>.ooo-dev2-chart2mst9</code>. If you have more than one OOo
developer snapshot you should also use different names, like
suggested here by adding something to the name
<code>.ooo-dev2</code>, to avoid conflicting configuration
between those snapshots.</P>
<br>
<H2 class="western">How to deinstall:</H2>
<P>Just remove the directory to which you extracted.</P>
