Installed 1.1.1 – This is a much better installation than the 1.1 version. It even comes with a configured copy of StartOpenOffice in the installation directory. I had previously installed a copy of NeoOfficeJ. The latter is painfully slow. It is based on the 1.03 version of OpenOffice, but it seems to include many of the features in 1.1.1 that I had not previous seen in 1.1.
In any case, this is a good package. One suggestion. The GZ includes ONLY the installer package. General comfort calls for a readme along side. For example, the readme that says that you can install the 1.1.1 package in parallel is not available until AFTER you have installed the package.
