OpenOffice 3.0 FINAL - SFS package - ready to download
I use Puppy totally from a 4GIG pendrive. No save/config files on the PC at all, and I use Openoffice 2,4.1, again on the pendrive with no problem. I had Puppy on the hard drive, but boot seemed slower. There is no drop in performance either, though the ramsaves take a bit longer. Great way to run Puppy if you have limited hard drive space, but of course your PC has to be able to boot from a pendrive.
If your BIOS doesn't support booting from USB you can do it anyway by using a Wakepup floppy - although I guess you might as well use a liveCD with a save file on a USB disk.
But it would be painful unless you have USB2.x

Hang on - are you saying you've got Puppy installed on hard drive, but you want OOo on USB drive?
You could certainly do it (or on CD drive), but again, if you have slow USB it would be quite painful.
It might be a little tricky to union it, but you don't need to - you can just mount an .sfs and run it from anywhere - you would probably want to link the ooo executables and maybe menu files and things to your install though.

OK, it was a late night and I wasn't making myself as clear as I could. So, take 2:
Puppy installed on hdd - works a treat and the main idea was to use it for surfing the net. More kids than PCs and it seemed a cool way to revive an old laptop that I was keeping because it has win98 and some games we have won't run on XP.
Now P2 Celeron with little hdd isn't cutting the youtube stuff very well, so not the best choice for the "youtube generation". Not being so fussy I thought if I could get OO3 on a pendrive then I could use the "clunky old thing" to work on while the kids chewed away on the newer XP bloatware.
So, how do I put OO3 on a pen drive? I'll keep puppy on hdd because I can't boot from USB.
I'm pretty good in terms of computer literacy (I don't get scared with regedit), but I'm a noob at the linux stuff (only started this week ), so I just need some clear instructions - if it can be done.
Thanks for reading the ramblingss and all the help. It will be the "service" of the linux community that will be the eventual downfall of M$.
Thanks again.

I must say, it seems unlikely. I think the USB would have to be formatted like an additional partition, but the main problem would be the way Linux scatters files and dependencies all over the hard drive, even if each is small in itself. You could run Open Office from the .sfs file, but you would need it on your hard drive I think, and that would need 150meg of space. I will see if I can get Pup to load an sfs file from a USB as it boots from the HD, but it does not look hopeful to me..............

Using Impress in the OO3 SFS
I have created these Puppy centric presentations:
ODP format
http://www.tmxxine.com/odp/puppy41_new.odp
PDF using export
http://www.tmxxine.com/odp/puppy41_new.pdf
Still working on them - so not quite perfect
but the Impress program is fast and stable
You can of course modify and use the presentation in any way you wish

Not sure what you're saying here - are you maybe saying that it would not work to format the USB drive as Ext2 and extract Openoffice in it?I must say, it seems unlikely. I think the USB would have to be formatted like an additional partition, but the main problem would be the way Linux scatters files and dependencies all over the hard drive, even if each is small in itself.
I can't see why it shouldn't work, as it is even possible to format as ext2 and install a distro in it...
Like I said, even if you can't union the sfs you can just click on it to mount it, and then run OOo from where it is...You could run Open Office from the .sfs file, but you would need it on your hard drive I think, and that would need 150meg of space.

BTW I tried the (developing) PDF import extension and it worked great!

Copy or move the directories /opt/openoffice.org and /opt/openoffice.org3 in one directory called OpenOffice, for example, in your pen drive, and you'll run scalc, simpress, swriter etc. clicking on their icons in /mnt/your_pen_drive/OpenOffice/openoffice.org/Basis3.0/program/scalc or simpress or swriter etc...So, how do I put OO3 on a pen drive?

Hi everyone, before I go to the effort of downloading a large file like this, I'd like your thoughts on how well it should run on my machine. I'm using an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300, Pentium 3, Celeron 600MHz, with 320MB Ram.
Tried Oxygen Office, but that wouldn't work and that may have been becuase the system couldn't handle it.
I'm using OO2.3 at the moment which seems to be working OK.
Thanks.

Has anyone done a .pet OO file. I'm using a hardrive install and ths sfs file is quite cumbersome. I can't get it to auto mount in 4.1 it will mount the file but then in order to get the program have unmount and remount go to Opt etc. it's a pain.. would like to have a .pet to install the full version of OO 3.
Are there some simple instructions somewhere as to how to install this? I have downloaded the sfs file to /mnt/home, but then have to go to
/mnt/+mnt+home+mnt+home+OpenOffice-3.0.sfs/opt/openoffice.org3/program
to find swriter etc. Once there, I can run the programs ok. What have I done wrong???
Thanks in advance, Paul

Paul, you have to activate it. Go to menu>set-up>wizard wizard>configure start up of puppy> then from boot configuration dialogue, chose 'choose which extra sfs files to load at boot up' Open Office should be showing. Add it and uncheck the ignore above user selection box. Re boot, and you will have all the menu buttons available in the usual way. Actually, when I did this, it tramped all over my desktop and put back a load of default icons I had removed
Thanks for the reply. Tried that, and I get this error message:
"Sorry, there is no SFS files in directory /mnt/home (or they all have the wrong '*_nnn.sfs' version number ) You will need to download and place one there first."
And checking the /mnt/home again, and OpenOffice-3.0.sfs is there right next to the pup_410.sfs
What am I screwing up???
cheers, Paul
