Jorrit I suspect that if there is anything about your system that is a bit out of kilter, this pre-beta and beta software will find it and "test" it -- with results that look like the package is killing your system. I had a bad disk and it caused 1.9.69 at first to cause the quick starter to hang the system on boot. Then it began to hang while using OO.o writer. Once I fixed the disk problem, and reinstalled OO.o 1.9.69, I am having no sign of either of these problems. I was CONVINCED that beta software was at fault. It was my flakey system. I concluded I must be quite careful in assigning blame to software. With Warm Regard and multiplied thanks to all OO.o developers, documentation writers, and users!
