Thanks for sending this Jeffrey. More importantly, thanks for summarizing it!

I think the best selling point for OOo as compared to this is that you
don't have to worry if you got the right one or not. You get the whole
thing, install what you want, and don't install what you don't want.
If down the road, you decide you need a DB application, then you can
simply install it; you don't have to go out and buy a different suite.


Has something changed that I'm not aware of? Because as far as I've always known, OOo doesn't come in seperate application modules; when you install OOo, you inherently install Calc, Base, Writer, Draw, Impress, and everything else.


Steven,
If you choose "custom installation", you can in fact install only those modules you want.

What you can not do is download only selected modules; you have to download the whole package. But you don't actually have to install all of it.

However, those people who think they are going to save disk space by doing this will be disappointed, because the vast majority of the code (I forget what percent, but it's large) is the same for all modules.

Cheers, Jean
