Neat trick on gentoo!

-
Ever since OpenOffice 2.0 Beta was released, i was hopping mad to try it!
But Gentoo made it sure that either OO-1.1.4 or OO-1.9.65, only one could remain on my system. The other one had to go!

& considering the fact that i could not let go of my "compiled" OO-1.1.4 (3 days of compilation!), OO-1.9.65 was making me go crazy!

& then... RPM came to my help!

emerge -v =app-arch/rpm-4.2
cd OpenOffice_Directory_rpms
rpm -ivh *.rpm --nodeps

& the result...
