The removal is best done (in my experience) using Synaptic; tell it to find libreoffice-core, and remmove that and associated programs. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
