I know for OOo, you need to install the main DEBs and then need
to install the DEB menu or desktop integration file[s].  They are in
separate folders and must be done separately.

It that what you mean by installing twice?

I never seen the dpkg -iR ./DEBS terminal command before.
Of course, I have little references to the terminal in my thick
Ubuntu book.  It has been a long while I have used a command
line based command system.  It has been since PC-DOS days
for desktops and DEC and IBM mainframe days for the other
systems.  So I need to learn Ubuntu's terminal commands and
how to use them correctly.

Actually I will be backing up my files and data soon and then
wiping my Ubuntu system to re-install Ubuntu to fix some
errors that cannot be fixed in any way I know of.  backup
to an external 1 TB and then wipe the internal 1 TB and reinstall
everything.  I may drop OOo for LO at that point, if I like it
better. I should be dual booting the system with 64-bit Ubuntu
and 64-bit XP at this point so I will need to install LO on both
OSs.
