Please excuse this reply to my own question but I have just downloaded my mail and have noticed a reply from NoOP on another thread re. installation of OOo 3.0 Beta.

NoOP says that he has "umpteen" versions of OOo installed on his Ubuntu 7.10 system. If you are reading this NoOP I would appreciate a few pointers/help since my total experience with Linux to date consists on installing it from the live 8.04 CD and having a play. Now I want to start learning to use it.

Thanks

I have just installed Ubuntu onto my PC to dual boot with WinXP. I am a total novice with respect to Linux and I want to see if I can get on with it. I am eager to install, if possible, OOo Dev300m14 alongside the Ubuntu supplied 2.4 version as I have in XP. Is this possible in Ubuntu? The instructions on installation of release candidates into Ubuntu that I've picked up from the archives and the 8dayaweek forum (from Dan Lewis and Hagar de l'Est, respectively) say that the distro supplied OOo version has to be removed before an RC can be installed. I can understand that this is necessary with an RC since it will attempt to overwrite/remove the installed version. Is this also the case with the installation of the Dev300 versions or can I install it as per the instructions in the archives to sit alongside the ubuntu version?

Thanks
