I understand the thinking of "beta"s but my 1.1.3 nor 1.1.4 were ever working in terms of my arabic language support. Now 2.0 works flawlessly, so its pretty much a no-brainer to me.
I tried the rem openoffice-1.1 function, but that is not the name of the file. (yes, the 1.3 came with the fc3), i installed the 1.4 in hopes it would overwrite the 1.3, but it didnt, i really would like to uninstall all of them, except for the 2.0, but my whereis function cant find openoffice
my advice for uninstall the version which came with fc3 is to use system-config-packages (system settings -> add/remove applications).
for 1.1.4 which you installed manually (from tar.gz) the best is to run setup again and select "remove"
I tried that, but it doesn't work for me. FC3 was originally packaged with 1.1.2 and then up2date automagically made it 1.1.3 later. Now when I go into add/remove applications it has a check mark beside openoffice (indicating that it's installed) but if I uncheck it (to tell the app to uninstall it) it complains that it can't do it because it isn't installed!!
Rummaging around in the filesystem it turns out that FC3 has all the packages installed into /usr/lib and OOo is in /usr/lib/ooo-1.1.
Anyway, do this:
$ rpm -qa | grep "openoffice" -
This will give you the package names. Mine is listed as openoffice.org-1.1.3-9.5.0.fc3 and openoffice.org-libs-1.1.3-9.5.0.fc3
Logging in as root you should then be able to do:
rpm -e openoffice.org-1.1.3-9.5.0.fc3
and
rpm -e openoffice.org-libs-1.1.3-9.5.0.fc3
