A make install that would install everything in the same default prefix as the rpms would not make any difference at all. OOo is relocatable, so if you don't like the contents of /opt/openoffice.org2.0 somewhere else. If you (like many distros) split the ooo-files around different places in the filesystem, then a make install would not help you either. You would have to pick & move files yourself as well. ciao Christian -- NP: Silverchair - Shade --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
