Re: installing OpenOffice

Hi, list.
Some comments here. While the soft links to the bridge is nice it doesn't
seam to work properly in every case. In my acase when making the links
failed to get results I copied the properties file and the
gnome-java-bridge.jar file into the jre and they worked fine ever since.
So if you don't get good results after making links to the files just copy
them over to the right places in your jre and it should work fine after
that.
