Group,
New (naive) Linux user with a question. I downloaded the tarball for m69, unrolled it, and now I have 14 rpms. I know how to install an rpm but I wasn't expecting 14 of them! It's not obvious to me how to proceed. Does the order I install them make a difference? And I realize that I can ignore the one for SUSE menues (so that makes 13, I'm running FC3 so I'll use the fedora menues I guess).
I do the following:
1. rpm -e `cat list of old rpms` 2. rm -rf /opt/openoffice.org1.9m<old version> 3. rm -rf $HOME/.openoffice1.9m<old version> 4. cd directoyy with new 1.9 rpms 5. rpm -Uv *rpm
The install sets do not replace old stuff so you have to get rid of it manually; hence, steps 1-3.
Since this was a new install I used Diane's method. I've kept yours for reference, however. Thank-you.
Rod
