Re: [libreoffice-users] Suggest adding one more QA step before release

Hi :)  
I am really impressed that people are already taking part.  Nicely done Paolo!  It should be fun 
and will be good.  Lets try to get the 4.0.0 ultra stable earlier in it's cycle so we can use and 
roll it out  sooner.  I hope to test-drive it a bit on 3 different types of machines and on 3 
different OSes.  

I  recommend making a back-up copy of your user-profile.  Copy&paste is a good way to do that.  
wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile

I think i'm going to do straight installs wiping out the current versions of LO on those machines.  
After testing i can reinstall the older version that everyone in the office is on and copy back the 
old user-profiles.  If you can do a parallel install instead then that would probably be a much 
better way.  

Good luck and happy hunting all!  
Regards from
Tom :)
