I do not know if it is still needed for going from 4.1.2 to 4.1.3, but it should be done for things like 4.0.5 to 4.1.2. There may be issues with "launch menus" and other parts of the setup that could be negatively affected by not uninstalling LO before the new version is installed. What I do is always uninstall first, just to be safe. Of course, if you are getting your install from the OS repository, then they do the work for you. I use the following command sudo apt-get remove libreoffice* if you use "purge" it will remove all of the config files, but you may not want to do that. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] 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
