They are in separate folders and must be done separately.
It that what you mean by installing twice? I never seen the dpkg -iR ./DEBS terminal command before. Of course, I have little references to the terminal in my thick Ubuntu book. It has been a long while I have used a command line based command system. It has been since PC-DOS days for desktops and DEC and IBM mainframe days for the other systems. So I need to learn Ubuntu's terminal commands and how to use them correctly. Actually I will be backing up my files and data soon and then wiping my Ubuntu system to re-install Ubuntu to fix some errors that cannot be fixed in any way I know of. backup to an external 1 TB and then wipe the internal 1 TB and reinstall everything. I may drop OOo for LO at that point, if I like it better. I should be dual booting the system with 64-bit Ubuntu and 64-bit XP at this point so I will need to install LO on both OSs. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
