Openoffice 1.1. Think I have messed up installation.
I am trying to unpdate openoffice basically.
Unpacked the .tar.gz file and did a su install to /etc/openoffice (er think this was a mistake) and then /usr/lib (er maybe another mistake). I wanted to do a multi user install and then install it for myself.
I guess I went about it all wrong, cos I can't open any of the openoffice stuff right now. Should I give up and just install Mandrake 9.2??????????
Yeah forget exactly how I sorted it now but I think I purged everything I could find (is there a purge command? I just used locate) on OpenOffice and then did the install into /usr and then into my home directory. Then had to mess with the commands for the launchers but it now [BI]seems[/BI] to be working fine.
I am not sure how the Redhat set up was I think maybe my user inatallation was in /home/me/.Openoffice or something - Does this . make it invisible or something?
Thanks. Can anyone just create a ./ directory then? And, is there anyway to view them in a file manager like Nautilus other than typing them into the address?
