HI,

JUST AN IDEA FOR PEOPLE TESTING AQUA VERSION : I HAVE
MODIFIED  
BOOTSTRAPRC  TO

USE : ~/LIBRARY/APPLICATION SUPPORT/OPENOFFICE.ORG-ALPHA

THIS WAY, NO WAY TO LOSE NOR MIX DATAS FOR PEOPLE TESTING
AQUA VERSION.


WHAT TO YOU THINK ? ANOTHER IDEA FOR OLIVER IS : DO THE SAME
FOR  
VERSION NOT QA'ED  ( ADDING RC TO BE SURE)



REGARDS,
ERIC BACHARD


PATCH IS ATTACHED

As I alway recommend to testers: Create/use a seperate user
(like
"test") for installing test versions and doing
tests. This is a fast and
simple way to be sure nothing gets confused.
And it it also a good way to be sure everything in user dir
installs the
right way.

But a more "secure" installation using your patch
is surely a good idea
when public testing versions come along because as we know,
people
normaly tend to don't take themselves five Minutes before
installation
to read installation hints but easyly have half an hour to
write
complaints after damage is done
