Hi there,
Having recently downloaded and installed OpenOffice.org 3 I see that I have
what appears to be 4 separate program files on my system that are almost
identical, all of which I have saved into a folder entitled 'Open Office'. The
actual OOo program seems to be working fine on my new iMac, but I am wondering
whether or not I need to keep all the 4 files, or if 3 are in fact duplicates
which can be deleted.
The files downloaded are as follows:
OOo_3-1.3.0_MacOS_x86_install_en-us.dmg Date Modified 17 Jan 2011 15.28
169.5MB Disk Image
OOo_3-2.3.0_MacOS_x86_install_en-us.dmg Date Modified 17 Jan 2011 15.28
169.5MB Disk Image
OOo_3-3.3.0_MacOS_x86_install_en-us.dmg Date Modified 17 Jan 2011 15.28
169.5MB Disk Image
OOo_3-3.0_MacOSx86_install_en-us.dmg Date Modified 5 Feb 2011 15.33 169.5MB
Disk Image
The Open Office Download Page seems to imply that the program needs around
400MB of disk space so I am confused by the total amount of the Download.
As each file has a slightly different numerical beginning I am lead to wonder
if each one listed may perhaps be an updated version of the previous file, and
whether the last one (i.e. OOo_3-3.0_ ...) is the only one which I need to
keep, but before deleting anything I would appreciate it if someone could give
me advice in this connection.
Thank you to anyone who can help.

Those are the disk images which contain the application. Once you copy OpenOffice.org.app into
your Applications folder you can delete the .dmg file. Did you install OOo?
The .dmg is a compressed file and once opened, the application is contains is
about 400MB.
