Re: Installing an OS, was: Fw: [libreoffice-users] Penguins: (Was Corrupt Installer Errors??)

Hi :)
+1
it's a historical problem.  LibreOffice is moving towards a more normal installer.  Sun wasn't keen 
on such gimmicks when developed by the community.  Go-oo didn't need a decent installer because it 
didn't develop so fast = so it could settle on whichever version was supplied in the OS.  

LibreOffice does develop quickly and people do want to keep up so it kinda does need a normal 
installer and is developing one.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

The problem is with the way LO is distributed.  I have no idea why they
do it that way.  There are other programs available where clicking on
the RPM works fine.
