Hi :) I don't know about details.  It is possible to talk with them directly or even just read their PPA page and see if they answer such questions there.   If they do have 2 branches then i doubt they do it in such a stupid way.  They are not morons!   Regards from  Tom :)   On Thursday, 10

Re: Installing an OS, was: Fw: [libreoffice-users] Penguins: (Was Corrupt Installer Errors??)

I do not know if I will be using the PPA for the 4.0.6 install, but it will be a while before I use 4.1.x. FOR install commands I now use. . . . "sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*" . . . . then do the standard "dpkg -i *.deb" terminal install. I found that there was a show-stopper for

Re: Installing an OS, was: Fw: [libreoffice-users] Penguins: (Was Corrupt Installer Errors??)

Hi :) No, it's just 1 PPA.  If you want an older version then you kinda have to go back to the LO site.  The PPA only has the most recent version although i think that might be the latest from each of the 2 current branches Regards from  Tom :)   On Thursday, 10 October 2013, 0:14, Kracked_P_P

Re: Installing an OS, was: Fw: [libreoffice-users] Penguins: (Was Corrupt Installer Errors??)

So the PPA has the newest version of both branches. Does that mean that the newest that will be updated to right now will be 4.1.2, but in a few weeks the update manager will see that 4.0.6 is the newest and try to update your 4.1.2 back to that one? On 10/09/2013 07:23 PM, Tom Davies wrote:
