And yet, command line rarely fails me. :) We probably could write some installation instructions for the more popular distros that would show users how to install from the deb or rpm packs USING whatever their GUI package manager is. I've done that as well instead of command line. It would take some time to research this. > > It may be my angularity with command line etc. but I notice difficulties > when I try to keep LibreOffice and AOO in same Linux Mint 13. > Well it IS a hassle to try to do this I would imagine. I guess what we need to discuss/decide is do we really want to tell people to uninstall LO before installing AOO? It would be nice if someone could investigate and report findings on what their experience is with maintaining both etc. to include in the installation instructions. > Greedings > Risto > > > RGB ES [[email protected]] kirjoitti: > >> 2012/8/15 lou ql <[email protected]>: >> > On Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 12:22 AM, Kay Schenk <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > >> >> On Tue, Aug 14, 2012 at 8:42 AM, Andre Fischer <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >> >> >> > On 14.08.2012 15:05, Rob Weir wrote: >> >> > >> >> >> I just noticed this new article.
