I had the Mandrake installed 1.0.1 (or was it 1.0.3). I did a network install followed by a user 
install. The user install make some complaints that the current language setting in the existing 
install (I usee country Canda, with US English) differed from the language of the 
about-to-be-installed version, so it would not replace the original installation. I let it go ahead, 
and the install finished, but unlike promised, the KDE menu setup and application associations 
stayed with OpenOffice 1.0.1. I could manually start the new version programs from the 
command line. 
 
So I uninstalled 1.1.0, used Mandrake Control Center to uninstall OO 1.0.1, and re-installed OO 
1.1.0. The install proceeded without complaints, but KDE remains completely unaware of the 
new installation, even though the transcript indicates all sorts of kde files were copied. 
 
This is a considerable annoyance as I can't click on files in the file manager, etc. I tried 
downloading some rpms of 1.1.0, which I found by searching, but the installer was not happy 
with the rpms (not your problem), I joined Mandrake club, and tried to download from there, 
and that was the most useless and frustrating 5 hr excercise in (not) downloading and (not) 
installing I have ever encountered in twelve years, and I paid for the privilege. (Not your 
problem again, but I mention it because I appear to have no choice but to get the 
OpenOffice.org distribution to work.)
