It is unnecessary to remove the Ubuntu/distro version of LO. That version *and* the standard LO version(s) reside nicely on the same machine, and can be run simultaneously. I currenly have open & working, at the same time: LO 3.3.4, LO 3.4.6, LO 3.5.1.2, (U)LO 3.3.4, OOo 3.4.0, and OOo-Dev3: $ locate bootstraprc /opt/libreoffice/program/bootstraprc /opt/libreoffice3.4/program/bootstraprc /opt/libreoffice3.5/program/bootstraprc /opt/ooo-dev3/program/bootstraprc /opt/openoffice.org3/program/bootstraprc /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/bootstraprc The only bits you need to watch out for is where the user configuration files are placed. In order to not have one write over the other, I simply modify the bootsraprc file *before first run* so that each have their own user config/profile files. Example: For LO 3.3: $ gksu gedit /opt/libreoffice/program/bootstraprc and change UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.libreoffice/3 to UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.libreoffice3.3/3 For LO 3.4: $ gksu gedit /opt/libreoffice3.4/program/bootstraprc to UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.libreoffice3.4/3 For LO 3.5: $ gksu gedit /opt/libreoffice3.5/program/bootstraprc to UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/libreoffice3.5/3 Create menu items to each (example: '/opt/libreoffice3.5/program/soffice'), and that's it. The Ubuntu/distro version will keep it's profile at ~/.libreoffice/3/user (or ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user in the case of the 3.5 versions), the others will name & put the profile as you've intsructed in the bootstraprc file. ... -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
