Also, in my experience, the best way of installing OOo is to grab the installation files from www.openoffice.org website..... you can get the latest version. > For those of you who have already been > through this, please pass along any tips that you found useful in this > regard.

It depends on how you setup FC2 and how you plan to upgrade it to FC5/FC6. If you setup /home on a separate partition, then you can simply ask the FC5/FC6 installer to use the /home partition without formatting it. If everything is installed on a single partition, then you may be able to upgrade this without formatting to keep all you settings in /home/*** directory. I would strongly encourage you to post OS upgrading questions on [EMAIL PROTECTED] ....... you will most likely receive more tips from there. -G > > Conversion of files to the new format. > > Thanks to all. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
