Hi,

I am using Fedora 10. I am having a problem that I am unable to use open office

I have installed it using:

su -c "yum install openoffice.org-core.i386"

It got installed properly without any error. But, now, I am unable to see any icon for open office. I don't know, hoe to launch it.

Somebody please help me asap.

Hey Ankit,
You need to install openoffice suite. you has issued a command to install core package of openoffice engine.

use:
su -c "yum install -y openoffice"

thanks

If you are not going to follow steps in above post. Please ignore all these errors and use "--force --nodeps" parameters along with rpm command.
