I have tried using urpmi to update the OpenOffice 1.0 that comes with my 9.1 distro to 1.1 but keep getting failed due to missing packages. So I tried adding the Mandrake 9.2 CDs to the rpmdrake package manager sources and attempted to use that system to first uninstall 1.0, then install 1.1 using the 9.2 CDs. It seemed to be working, then gave an error about conflicts with apache.

 

Has anyone using 9.1 successfully installed OO 1.1? If so, any sugestions - is it woth it? Should I just give up and wait for Mandrake 10?

You can always just install the binary tarball from the Open Office site.

 

You can also download the Mandrake source RPM for Open office (although at more than 100 MB, it's a rather large download....), and issue the "rpm --rebuild" command and then install the RPM's.
