Don't concern yourself with Quickstarter it does not give any improvement in Linux. Openoffice.org opens slow the first time in Linux and then opens quicker after if you have not rebooted. This process will not go any faster with quickstarter. -- http://24.197.142.167/ See the Openoffice.org FAQ Microsoft users go to http://www.pclinuxos.com for a great user friendly Linux experience! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
