Looking through the files that openoffice-bin-2.0.0_rc3 installs, the |
| 17 |
majority of the files are installed to /usr/lib/openoffice/. IIRC, the |
| 18 |
1.x series uses /opt, so that should be ok. Everything else (icons, |
| 19 |
.desktop files, files in /usr/bin, etc) have the version in the file |
| 20 |
name, so you will not have a conflict with those. |

However, I can also tell you that I have been using the beta & RC builds |
| 23 |
for most of this year, and have not seen anything that would make me |
| 24 |
want to go back to 1.x! |

And as Joachim said, quickpkg may be the better option. |
