My Masterpiece...part 2

Im trying to install Openoffice 2 on this machine, so the lady can work on office files. I'm having a problem with a MyDSL package, so I may have to try other ways of getting this on here. Also, I may need to get CD-RW discs, as right now that's the only way any software's getting on this box....

My Masterpiece...part 1

A lady was given a computer and wanted me to see if I could do something with it... It was an old Pentium computer with 32 MB of RAM, and a busted hard drive.

Now what could I do with that???

Simple! The lady just needed something to type papers on, so I'm going to hook her up with Linux and OpenOffice.org. She's a beginner, so I should have no trouble hooking her up with some linux knowledge. I've already completed the first step, which was install DSL on the hard drive I provided for her. Now it's on to getting OOo on the computer. How to do?? just use CD-RW. I'll work on that tomorrow when I get home from my second job...
