[indiana-discuss] Indiana PV on VMWare Workstation 6.02 Build-59824

[Qingye Jiang (John)]

David and Martin,

Thanks a lot for your help. Problem resolved.

Now I have another question -- how do I get OpenOffice working? I 
downloaded OpenOffice from OpenOffice.Org, and the installation failed. 
(Java worked.)

Thanks a lot.

John
