I am not sure if this list is uptodate. The problem is that OO is an
ogre on bandwith so it is certainly hard to get and keep good nirrors.
Last time I have used :
deb ftp://ftp.uninett.no/pub/linux/packages/openoffice-debian unstable main contrib
And it tooks me multiple try to update my apt db (apt-get update) and
also multiple try to install OO because the server limit the number of
simultaneous users.

I guess there is no links between kde and the difficulty to get OO.
And with a debian system you should have no reason to reinstal your
system.

It depends because sometimes significant changes enter testing and then
the packages depending on that become incompatible with woody. I don't
know the curent status but you can read earlier in this mailing list
that the libc has been upgraded at least in unstable (so it has or wil
happen in testing) and perl too.

If you have "deb ftp:..." or "deb http:..." lines in your
/etc/apt/sources.list file then you need a network link. Usually network
is configured in /etc/network/interfaces, except for dialup.
Hope this help,
