Re: [libreoffice-users] North American DVD 3.5.6

I do not have any software to create a checksum.  But, it is downloaded 
from the LO servers, so they have them for you.
On the green button for the downloading of the ISO files, there is an 
"Info" text.  You click on that text and you should get a page showing 
mirrors for the files and their checksums.

I would not download the 3.5.6 version.  IT has a "bug" in the download 
page that involves the Windows files.  I did not upload the modified 
version, since it was too close to the 3.5.7 release and having the 
3.5.6 version uploaded [take 9-10 hours on my part to upload a full DVD 
ISO file] and then in a week or so the 3.5.7 DVD will be listed as the 
current version.  It seemed not doable to just upload the 3.5.6 version 
"fix" when 3.5.7 was so close. Actually I just found the "bug" about a 
week ago, a few days before 3.5.7 was released to the public.

As soon as I downloaded all of the 90+ 3.5.7 needed install files , I 
created the 3.5.7 DVD ISO file and uploaded it to the "holding server" 
to wait till the conference was over so the person would have it 
available to do the move to the download server[s].  Then it was up to 
the mirrors to get the new folder[s]/file[s] sync-ed up and then the new 
ISO file will be available to the public for downloading.

In a few days the 3.5.7 DVD will be on the LO servers.  With the 
conference going on, the person who moves the ISO file to the proper 
server and folder was not available to do the move.

But it will happen in a few days, hopefully.  The exact date is not known.

This should be the direct link to the 3.5.7 DVD download page.

AS FOR
downloading the Windows version for your wife's computer, just use LO's 
download page.  It will be quicker.  If you want to install the 3.5.6 
version, you will find it here
