they missed a link when they changed the location. Placing one or more

     One more point that also seems a little strange: I installed 3.5 from
LO website on Ubuntu 11.10 that did contained no LO nor OOo folders. When I
looked at the new path which ends with /3/user/template, there was no
template folder in the user folder.
