Re: [libreoffice-users] Issue install on a a Dell

Hi :)
There are tons of unofficial sites, repos and magazine Cds/Dvds that offer
great bundles or pure versions of LibreOffice.  it's very rare to find any
that create any kind of problem at all.  The only thing is that since you
have found a problem it would be nice to try re-downloading from somewhere
we are familiar with and maybe even able to have some kind of control over.


Cley's point is good about checking the installer to ensure it's not been
corrupted somewhere along it's route.  if it does turn out to be a 3rd
party error then they have probably done it unwittingly and just need
someone to write in to them and let them know so they can fix it.  It's
more likely to be a home/small(ish)-office router that needs rebooting or
wiifi that needs a more line-of-sight position.  Checkign the hash-values
sounds a lot scarier and more complex than it really is.  I use a
calculator to take 1 value away from the other and hopefully get zero
showing everything is fine.
Regards from
Tom :)
