Hi :) Good work Jean :) Nicely done :) If anyone wants guidance on installing Ubuntu or wants to revert to the 10.04 LTS (or 10.10) then feel free to email me off-list. Regards from Tom :)

I've got the parallel installs ( LibO 3.3.3, LibO 3.4.1, and the LibO 3.2 that comes with Ubuntu) working now on Ubuntu 11.04. I didn't resort to reinstalling Ubuntu, but perhaps one of the many updates fixed something obscure, or maybe whatever I was doing wrong I did right this time. Whatever the reason, it seems to be working as it should. Just thought you'd like to know (those who were helping me). --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
