OOo disappears
Removing galeon and mozilla mail uninstall openoffice.org ?? I've decided to delete the above (using sylpheed & phoenix), so I used the graphical tool choosing both packages in Graphical Internet sub-menu. Uninstall was successfull. A few min later I try to open an .sxw document and OO was gone ! I checked, it was; so I re-install OOo. However the associated icons have not been recovered; to see after next session/reboot. After thought I remenber the message before proceeding to the unstall "Three (3) packages queued ..." Why 3, choosen 2 ? Strange things happens ... Franck
