Actually, I did find a way of completely removing version 1.1.5 from the Solaris Unix 8.0 system. Move to some directory, other than the installation directory for OpenOffice, then run the command "/<installdirectory_OpenOffice>/setup -deinstall".
I then tried to install version 2.0. But for the Solaris distribution, version 2.0 consists of a group of packages. The packages want to install everything in the directory /opt/OpenOffice2.0. Also when I tried to install the packages I received a number of warning messages indicating that the package I was installing required another package to be installed first. Lets call this package A and the required package B. So I went and tried to install package B. But again received a warning message, this time it stated I needed to install package A first. At this point I stopped. On the system I am trying to install OpenOffice on, directories /opt and /usr are starting to run out of space. The installation for version 1.1.5 allowed me to change the installation directory. I would like this feature in version 2.0. Version 1.1.5 very nicely inserted itself in the user's environment by creating a list of icons in CDE. Does version 2.0 do the same thing? Robert D.

You may find this useful as 2.0 is so new. Please see http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/2.x/en/SETUP_GUIDE.pdf for setup. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
