Thanks Nikola.
I had seen the discussion thread in an earlier message about en-us only.
I was hoping that you might have an idea as to how to "encourage" apt to 
install the en-us packages.

However, a search found a reference to the installation of OxygenOffice 
(derivative of OpenOffice
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ooop/wiki/Download ) where they show 
apt-get commands.

To amend #3 above:
sudo apt-get install libreoffice3* lobasis3.3*
...will install "everything" including the extensions.

Using wildcard characters for install AFAIK is not recommended. However, 
I was able to get the full LibreOffice installed and running. Opening 
documents from OpenOffice3.2 worked without a hitch.

Thank you for your efforts!!
Regards,
Scott Furry
