Re: [libreoffice-users] External versus internal

Hi :)
Good to hear you are contacting the devs list.  They have more people that have more knowledge 
about the issues.  

There are lots of good reasons for compiling from source.  I was just trying to pin-point the issue 
a bit.  LiveCd or Virtual Machines or a spare partition in a multi-boot machine can be good ways to 
test something without committing it to your main OS.  Only if you have unlimited bandwidth and 
time tho, obviously.  
Regards from
Tom :)
