Re: [libreoffice-users] Ubuntu user - have the LO PPA, but want to be "bleeding edge"...

Hi :)

If you have a spare 15Gb to put another partition on a hard-drive (or something) 
then why not install another copy of Ubuntu to use as a beta-testing area?  Most 
distros are happy with a LOT less but Ubuntu is more comfortable with about that 
much space.  Then you can beta test a lot of other programs while still being 
able to boot into a stable version when you need to.  It is also useful if you 
need to try out other distros or newer releases of Ubuntu when they happen.  
Linux installers cleverly sort the dual/multi-boot thng out for you but feel 
free to contact me offlist if you want tips or a walk-through.

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi,
I usually extract the latest rc or beta onto "Filesystem" as root. Then I  cd to 
the folder and run sudo dpkg -iR DEBS/

This seems to have worked well for me. Since I am on Ubuntu 9.10, the PPA 
doesn't help much.
