Well, half of the stuff in kword doesn't work, and they've enable lots
of debug messages.  Jeez, it was slow enough before.

plonk -> removing now.  I'll stick with open office.

This paragraph and the numbers therein do not align.

The koffice 1.1.1 Caldera packages are built against the latest set 
of KDE packages, for 2.2.1.

We are not.

I've been using 1.1.1 all day. That is something I could not do until now. 
the stability increased over 100% with this release for me.. on SuSE 7.2 I 
might add (though, my own XFree86, my own KDE, my own KOffice, etc)

koffice-1.1.1

2001-12-18 Thread Keith Antoine

It usually someone else other than I who gets in first after a release.
However I download this last night and tried it this morning. Its only a 
minor release but wondered what was to offer, only to find that it crashed 
immediately in Suse and had problems when started from a terminal. There does 
not appear to be anythingb that is worth the release and the BIG point is not 
addressed once again, no export word filters. Kword, mime, abiword; pretty 
useless.

I also decided as I was going to abamndon Suse 7.3 for many reasons, 
recompiles, sound and other little niggles that I would download the mandrake 
and Caldera versions. I was introduced by Caldera to linux and gui, also 
until this year had no thought, even though I had struggles with ltp etc of 
using anything else. I was actually thinking of putting 3.1.1 beta up again 
as I know more of Caldera than anything else.

What has stopped me was the download of koffice-1.1.1 for Caldera. It is 
compiled for 2.1; yes I know they have not released rpms for 2.2, but why 
release it at all, its a minor release and its meant to run on 2.2 ? I am at 
a loss to follow the thinking at Caldera these days. I would be back onto 
Caldera if they would only put out up to date releases, or put up files to 
download so as the user could do that.

Mind you that is not to say that any other distro has grabbed me in any 
substantial way either. Mandrake is the next one to be tested again but I do 
not like the no /opt and another couple of tricks, gcc 2.96 i.e..
Suse is ok so long as you do it their way and do not fiddle.

Just seems that today many are working against each other rather than with 
some game plan, this release is just confirmation. Imho don't bother.
