Re: [libreoffice-users] Installing LO 3.4.5

Hi :)
I think the same instructions still work although there is a wiki-page on how to install versions 
alongside each other.  It's not straight-forwards not it's not hugely tough either.  Personally i 
would recommend uninstalling and reinstalling just because it's easy and free.  It's only if you 
are likely to have sudden dead-lines and need a more familiar version to fall back on.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Within a bug report I have been asked to install & try LO 3.4.5, which
I have already downloaded (+ GB-lang & help packs).

Has the install procedure changed since the following details kindly
provided for installing 3.3?:
