Re: [libreoffice-users] desktop integration working now? Re: [tdf-announce] LibreOffice 4.1: a landmark for interoperability

Hi Tom

Thanks for the heads up. Aside from some minor issues regarding 
documentation and installation, it seems to work fine. Here's my 
experience on Mint 14, FWIW:

The Read-Me still states:

"The following commands will install LibreOffice and the desktop 
integration packages (you may just copy and paste them into the terminal 
screen rather than trying to type them):

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

cd desktop-integration

sudo dpkg -i *.deb"

Someone who is involved in doc management will have to update this. It 
would also be helpful for some instruction on how to use the 
installation script in the folder.

The language pack must be installed before the help pack - I can't 
recall having to do this in a given order before, but maybe I did for 
previous versions.

Other than these minor issues, LibO4.1 seems to work okay so far, so 
thanks again.
