openoffice installed well

[chen li]

Hi Edward,

Thank you very much.

I rebuild the rpm database using this command as a
root user:

rpm -vv -rebuilddb

then cd to the openoffice folder and type
rpm -ivh *.rpm

and my computer install openoffice within 2 min

Then I cd to desktop-integration folder and type

 rpm -ivh  the_specifce_rpm_for_the_redhat.rpm

the file is installed in 20 seconds.

Finally I go back to the main menu/office/

I can see all the openoffices are on desktop.

Another question: How do I remove the older
version(1.1 version) away?
