I see. My installation is not the same version as yours. It's actually a version I downloaded from Openoffice.org. The names may be a remnant of an earlier incarnation. If you ever need to find the executables in an RPM, there is a very easy way to do it. Run "mc", move the cursor over the rpm file, press enter, move the cursor down to "CONTENTS.cpio", press enter, then move around as if you in a normal directory hierarchy. You should be able to find whatever files there are, and you will be able to establish their locations on the installed system. cheers Duncan Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
