1. I cannot understand why there is STILL no "upgrade" function in LO. I
had 3.3.1 and in order to upgrade to 3.3.2 I had to download the whole
220 MB. Now I know that's not a lot, but for those on capped and/or slow
connections it IS a lot.
2. In the old installation of 3.3.1 I had removed all the non-English
dictionaries (after a long search on how to do this - WHY is there not
an easy dictionary removel method?) and after downloading the GB version
of the new install file, IT RE-INSTALLED ALL THE NON-ENGLISH
DICTIONARIES! What on earth is the point of a GB install file when it
just replaces all the non-English dictionaries that I had to
painstakingly remove previously? GRRRRRR.
Come on LO. Get your act together....

You can solve your own problem by deselecting them during installation. They
only install because they are selected by default, which IMHO should not be
done. It takes a minute or so, but there are two lists that you have to go
through and deselect all the dictionaries and language stuff you don't want
to install.

That is strange, as here Ubuntu I was not given a choice.  The extras 
have to be removed via the package manager.

This was on WinXP, selecting the "custom" installation.
