I, too, am a SuSE user. Do you have an answer for Victor's question? I want to upgrade from OOo 2.0 Novell Edition build 2.0.0.1 as released as a part of SuSE 9.3 to the standard OOo version 2.0.3. What do I do in order to avoid the mishmash that Victor reports? Should I completely uninstall the "Novell Edition" and then install version 2.0.3? If so, what problems will that likely create for me when I later replace SuSE 9.3 with SuSE to 10.1? Will the very process of uninstalling lose any of my data files (I doubt it) or OOo settings (I suspect this could be a problem)? If so, what do I need to save before I uninstall? Should these files be restored to their original directories after installing version 2.0.3? What else am I, as an untrained user, in need of knowing? > > -------------- Original message from Victor Chapman > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: -------------- > > > Victor Chapman wrote: > > > > What is the correct process to upgrade from ver. 2.0.2 to 2.0.3. > > > > I have tried this a couple of times and end up with a hybrid the > > > > old and the new. > > > > > > Note, I am trying to install 2.0.3 > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Jim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
