Is there an easy way to compare 2 installations to find out what the difference is?
Mike, I don't know of one other than looking at the rpms installed with "rpm -qa | grep OpenOffice_org". That will tell you if the open office installs are the same. However, so many of the 3rd party functions (pdf, etc..) rely on shared object libraries that may or may not be the same between the two systems that it can be difficult to tell. On another note, OpenOffice 3 has been so flaky in its tab, margin, table handling that I have downgraded all the boxes I need to get work done on to OpenOffice 2.4 which still works very reliably until OO3 grows up a little more. You should be able do disable the openoffice repository, remove openoffice and reinstall openoffice 2.4 from the updates repository. You can always just download the vanilla openoffice from the openoffice site and it works very well in suse. The still provide openoffice 2.4.3 for download. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
