Re: [libreoffice-users] now can Purchase a NA-DVD

Hi again (sorry for the double-posting)  :)

The issue about New Zealand's connection to the rest of the world cropped up years ago in Ubuntu.  
I think either Universities there or the authorities or someone ran a big hosting site to mirror 
"the essentials" and somehow Ubuntu managed to get mirrored on that.  Server-to-server 'up'-loading 
(or is it downloading or cross-loading?) should be far faster than going through a domestic route!  

I think the Ubuntu crowd discussed posting physical media to get the bulk done more easily.  
Regards from
Tom :)

DO you have a broadband Internet connection?  The .iso file is listed here.

If you do not have broadband connection, there should be a way for you to get a copy from some 
source.  I have shipped one to Malta from the USA, but do not like to spend my own money on 
shipping, most of the time.

Here is a link to the Online version of the DVD. [actually to the Install page]
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/install.html

Browse this site and you will find all of the files and such on the DVD.  The online site tends to 
get updated more often than the physical media or the .iso file does, but still it will give you a 
look at the DVD.

Right now, the only real updates to the online version [same as the physical one really] is the 
fact that there are 2 more chapters in Draw online than the one that can be bought or the .iso file 
to be downloaded.

Mostly there are the documentation, the 180+ dictionaries, the extensions, templates, artwork, the 
extra free packages, etc., etc..  I did not fee that a DVD should contain only the basic install 
files for LibreOffice.  That would be a waste of a DVD. So it got filled with a lot of things that 
I [and others] thought a user might want to have with him/her on a DVD so that they did not have to 
go looking for it elsewhere.  I must have 99% of the dictionaries that can work with LibreOffice, 
unless you get them via any language packages, like you need for a Linux install.
