Did you uninstall the pre-existing OO first, and then install the new one?
Would be interested to know of any gotchas too along the way?
Yes, but be advised that the old copy was also a straight from
OOo.org
version, rarely have I tolerated the brokenness of the distro versions for
very long. It is packed as rpms however and includes the real, 100%
compatible java too, so the install seems to be distro friendly as long as
the distro uses rpms. However, I noted when I went after it again last week,
that there are now .deb friendly versions too.
My biggest bitch is that the mirror I pulled it from the last time seems to
be throttled to about 300 baud someplace, so it took much of a day to pull
that 180 megs. That sucks to put it mildly.
