KOffice and OpenOffice

[Harvey Ussery]

Samuel,

This is the relevant quote from one of the Readme files in the install 
program:

"You can install OpenOffice.org 1.1 along side of an older version of 
OpenOffice.org. If you later choose to deinstall the older version of 
OpenOffice.org, you must call the installation program of the newer 
version and choose 'Repair'. This ensures that the new version is 
correctly registered in your system."

At the moment I am keeping my older ver in place. But if I get really 
conifdent in the new ver, I will get rid of the old. (I'll have to 
review uninstall procedures/options at that time.)

Good luck.    --Harvey
