Help with Linux please!

Apols, but I have searched the site and FAQ but not spotted the answer to these. I'm running Linux Xandros on an EeePC.

I want to back up Zotero, but can only find instructions for Mac and Windows. Is this the right folder, and do I just need to make a copy of it?
/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/rcc05xpz.default/zotero

I tried to download the OpenOffice extension, but it crashes File Manager. Is the .oxt file the right one for Linux, and if not, where do I get the right one?

Or is the problem that some functions don't work with Xandros?

Ta,
Silverfin

    the open office extension should work - it's the same for all platforms.

    Not sure on all other questions - generally functionality on linux is high, but not sure about xandros.

    Yes, that's the correct folder.

    The .oxt file is actually a zip file (though you don't want to unzip it yourself). Perhaps that is what's tripping up File Manager.

    To install the openoffice extension under linux, use the second option in the instructions (http://www.zotero.org/documentation/openoffice_integration) which talks about using the extension manager in OOo.

    For backing up, could you export the database in BibTex format and then re-import that if you need to?

    Thanks for the advice.

    Dan was right, I was trying to unzip the .oxt file. The instructions were confusing because there's nothing in Tools called Extension Manager; it's Package Manager.

    What version of OpenOffice are you running? It's called Extension Manager in recent releases.
