Make a tbz2 package of openoffice-1.1.4-r1 in case you want it back later. quickpkg "=app-office/openoffice-1.1.4-r1" emerge unmerge openoffice echo ">=app-office/openoffice-bin-1.9.87" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask echo "app-office/openoffice-bin ~*" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge openoffice-bin When you are using openoffice-bin-1.9, save your files in openoffice 1.0 file formats so that you can still open them if you need to go back. If you need to go back: emerge unmerge openoffice-bin emerge --usepkgonly openoffice Zac -- [email protected] mailing list
