Hi Ger,
I had a look at the Setup_Guide after your post. Concerning the Debian
install it says that "... If you already had an older version, dpkg will
upgrade it rather then installing both versions at once".
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AAMOF, in my case, both versions were left on my PC (although I didn't
try to run 1.9.79 after installing 1.9.82, the full directory was there.).
May be the Guide is reflecting a future situation, when everything will
have been settled down? I would think so, also because it refers to a
single openoffice.deb ("dpkg -i openoffice,deb"), whereas, at present,
at least 19 *.deb's spring out of the .deb.tar.gz package.
Regards,
Ennio.
