You've "installed" it, which means it's installed as well as what was already there. If you "updated" it, older version would have been replaced by the newer ones. Generally you only install things like kernels (where you want to keep more than one version on the system), or packages that have never previously been installed on your system; and you update/upgrade packages as you go along. You can also use the update/upgrade installation method for new packages, and RPM will install them with no problems. I would have used "rpm -Uvh" for installing the OpenOffice.org packages. > How do I remove the older version(1.1 version) away? You can try "erasing" the older versions, using "rpm -e" with the specific package details. But you might strike some problems that require you to remove the old and new packages, then install the new ones by themselves (again). -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
