Re: [Nolug] Starting a new distro war

    VecSOHO-3.2 did a full install in 1.9gig of drive space -- just
under the wire. It works fine with 96meg on a P1-166. (Thanks again
Paul!) I've been trying to clean it up by deleting unnecessary
packages, but most of them have only a name but no description in the
package manager. I'm scared to touch the ones I don't recognize.
    The install came with OpenOffice 1.0, so I want to upgrade to the
latest version. There's no package or RPM listed for OpenOffice,
though. Can somebody please tell me how to remove it cleanly so I can
start the later version, which is a tar.gz file?
    BTW, sorry I haven't been able to make the last few meetings. My
dad is very old and in poor health and I spend every Thurs. evening
with him.
Thanks,
Dave Prentice

X and KDE, I couldn't get it much lower than 1.5GB. And to boot, I
just installed Fedora 2 Beta and it said the full install was in the
vicinity of 6GB. My regular desktop install with the same stuff I had
on RH9 was over 3GB.
