AFAIK broken help browser was fixed in 638C, templates work for me in 641.

After installing the RPM, OO.o should be installed ... thus the setup should be run during rpm build, but to make it non-interactive would require using the response-file method from 5.2 (if it still works). Also, including the non-LGPL wordlists for spell-checking for all OO.o supported languages would be cool. Also, build process is not trivial ... -- |----------------Registered Linux User #182071-----------------| Buchan Milne Mechanical Engineer, Network Manager Cellphone * Work +27 82 472 2231 * +27 21 8828820x202 Stellenbosch Automotive Engineering http://www.cae.co.za GPG Key http://ranger.dnsalias.com/gpg.key
