What I meant was that in previous distros I've used the inks to the programs get messed up. I was using debian for some years and it took for ever for them to update the version of OO, so I would install the up to date version. Then when debian updated their version the symlinks they would over-write the version that I had installed and the symlinks wouldn't work any more because from memory the OO builds used soffice etc while the debian used oooffice. > > ?? The standard OOo 3.0.1 installs into the /opt directory. You can > safely leave it there and there is no need to 'lock' it via Synaptic. What I've done now is remove the openoffice.org packages and installed the openoffice.org3 packages. But all I have working is the version of OO3 in /opt which is the "community" version not the go-oo version. So, is the openoffice.org3 package the same as the standard OO 3.0.1? How would I go about installing the developer version of go-oo 3.0.1? > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > -- God bless you, Keith Bates www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
