Description jogi 2003-12-11 09:45:57 UTC 
- Installed your office as a '-network' installation into e.g. /opt/OpenOffice110 
- Create a symlink /opt/OpenOffice destinated to the /opt/OpenOffice110
  REASON: In distributed networks the version switching often only
          goes through changing symlinks!

BUG: The client which you should have been started in /opt/OpenOffice creates on
client side symlinks not the path where setup has been started, it creates
symlinks to the version depending, original target /opt/OpenOffice110.

Now: 
Network Installation: /opt/OpenOffice110
Created Symlink to Network Installation: /opt/OpenOffice
Created client side symlink to soffice: /opt/OpenOffice110/program/soffice

Should be:
Network Installation: /opt/OpenOffice110
Created Symlink to Network Installation: /opt/OpenOffice
Created client side symlink to soffice: /opt/OpenOffice/program/soffice

In OpenOffice 2.0 there won't be any symlinks from the client side to the office
any more.
