Done that before. However, of late there has been some differences between Fedora's version of OOo and the official one. One important one is that spadmin is now missing from the FC2 version. The reason being that OOo's font requirement is handled directly by X. So if you have extra fonts installed under X, they will be available to OOo as well. I find this a good feature. I am not sure if teh official one still retains spadmin. Ofcourse, this also takes away the option of adding additional or custom printers with OOo. But the point is that you get a better integrated version of OOo if you stick to the distro version. Ofcourse your installed version may lag from time to time from the official version, even on a distro like FC2 ;). - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya sandip (at) puroga.com Puroga Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
