Hi :) Hmm, i just thought. maybe this guide might help you change the path on your machine http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Just miss out the bits where it installs another version of LibreOffice!
Something else i liked about the Arch install was the inclusion of OpenJdk6 and mozilla-common. IOpenJdk7 has only come out in the last few days so it's a bit too recent to use. You might not need the java runtime at all. I have started unticking it on the various works machines to help LO start-up faster and had no problems so far. It's good to have the OpenSource version available as a fall-back in case you do need java tho even if it is still owned by Oracle. I think for most distros the package/add-on to allow documents to open in a web-browser is called "mozilla-libreoffice" and we would never guess it's different in Arch so it's good to have that included as standard. Both very small packages and including them neatly side-steps a range of potential troubles :) The . in the front of the fodler-name only makes the folder hidden. It doesn't really make all that much difference except that you have to remember it when typing out the pathname of course.

Distribution is Arch. The build instructions are here: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/libreoffice I don't see anything specifying the user config dir, so I assume what I have is the default. > --- On Wed, 14/9/11, Matthew Monaco<[email protected]> wrote: > > From: Matthew Monaco<[email protected]> > Subject: [libreoffice-users] poor default config path > To: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, 14 September, 2011, 2:02 > > Why is the default config located at ~/.config/.libreoffice? > > I appreciate it being under .config so as not to add to the clutter of my > home directory, but is the "." necessary?
