Hi All,
there's been a discussion about how to install two versions of oo.o at
once (see the mail from Rafaella below). There were instructions for
Windows and Linux and now we have also a howto for Solaris. Enjoy!

How to install and use more than one version of OO.o on Solaris
---------------------------------------------------------------
(normal and keyid build in this case)
1. install the first version as usual (here it's the normal build) - it
will be installed to /opt/openoffice.org2.0
2. copy the content of /opt/openoffice.org2.0
to /opt/openoffice.org2.0_normal
# cp -r /opt/openoffice.org2.0 /opt/openoffice.org2.0_normal
3. open file /opt/openoffice.org2.0_normal/program/bootstraprc with your
favourite text editor and change line
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org2
to
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org2_normal
4. uninstall the version installed in step 1 (the normal version in
/opt/openoffice.org2.0_normal will not be affected by this
uninstallation)
5. install the second version as usual (the keyid one in this case) -
it will be installed to /opt/openoffice.org2.0
6. copy the content of /opt/openoffice.org2.0
to /opt/openoffice.org2.0_keyid
# cp -r /opt/openoffice.org2.0 /opt/openoffice.org2.0_keyid
7. open file /opt/openoffice.org2.0_keyid/program/bootstraprc with your
favourite text editor and change line
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org2
to
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org2_keyid
8. uninstall the version installed in step 5 (the normal version in
/opt/openoffice.org2.0_normal and the keyid version
in /opt/openoffice.org2.0_keyid will not be affected by this
uninstallation)
9. repeat the above steps if you wish to install more than two versions
at once :)
10. it's now possible to launch
/opt/openoffice.org2.0_normal/program/swriter
and
/opt/openoffice.org2.0_keyid/program/swriter
and have the normal and keyid version launched at the same time
