Which files and where exactly?

 My old install of openoffice is still working ok and it is in my home
 directory as a user install.

Please define old install of openoffice (e.g. version-release). I am
afraid I am still not good at mind reading. There are problems when 
updating from OOo from 8.2 to the one from 9.0 with localized contents.

[Cooker] OpenOffice install problems after RC2 upgrade

I hope this is just a problem with my local system but after testing RC2
for three days I found something that may be a fairly major problem for
users. I did an expert upgrade and had no real problems and I am amazed
it finds most of my hardware and things just work.

I uninstalled and will try again. Are the OpenOffice rpms working for
most people? My old install of openoffice is still working ok and it is
in my home directory as a user install.
