Re: [libreoffice-users] poor default config path

Hi :)
Hmm, i just thought.  maybe this guide might help you change the path on your machine
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel
Just miss out the bits where it installs another version of LibreOffice!

Something else i liked about the Arch install was the inclusion of OpenJdk6 and mozilla-common.  
IOpenJdk7 has only come out in the last few days so it's a bit too recent to use.  You might not 
need the java runtime at all.  I have started unticking it on the various works machines to help LO 
start-up faster and had no problems so far.  It's good to have the OpenSource version available as 
a fall-back in case you do need java tho even if it is still owned by Oracle.  I think for most 
distros the package/add-on to allow documents to open in a web-browser is called 
"mozilla-libreoffice" and we would never guess it's different in Arch so it's good to have that 
included as standard.  Both very small packages and including them neatly side-steps a range of 
potential troubles :)

The . in the front of the fodler-name only makes the folder hidden.  It doesn't really make all 
that much difference except that you have to remember it when typing out the pathname of course.  

Regards from
Tom :)

My platform is Linux. Distribution is Arch. The build instructions are here: 
http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/libreoffice

I don't see anything specifying the user config dir, so I assume what I have is 
the default.
