     If Ubuntu has an LO quickstarter, what is the name of it? What 
version of LO are you talking about? Ubuntu places its installed folder 
in /opt/. It then creates a link in /etc/ to the /opt/libreofficeX.X 
folder. When installing LO from the LO website, the LO installed folder 
is /opt/libreofficeX.X. I have both version of LO on my hard drive. On 
the command line, I entered "locate quickstart" one time and "locate 
quick". Neither one gave me a result in the /etc/ nor /opt/ folders. 
Ubuntu does have several files named quickstart, but none of them apply 
to LO.
     These files will open LO in the corresponding component: 
swriter(Writer), scalc (Calc), sdraw (Draw), smath (Math), sbase (Base), 
simpress (Impress), soffice (the splash screen), and sadmin (printer 
administrator). In the shell script below, enter the name of the file 
you want to use based upon which component you want to start.

     To create a shell script file to start a specific component of LO 
you need to create a text file with two lines:
              #!/bin/sh
              /opt/libreoffice3.5/program/"specific file"
When writing the shell script, use the associated file name in place of 
"specific file" as in the two examples below.

     Both of these scripts work on Ubuntu:
#!/bin/sh
/opt/libreoffice3.5/program/sbase

#!/bin/sh
/opt/libreoffice3.5/program/scalc

     Save the file to the desktop, and then use the command line to 
make the file executable. Do this for each component that you use.
     If you have a toolbar on your desktop where you can put these 
files, do so. I have Ubuntu, so I don't know about Debian.
