I have installed the 1.1RC4 package, and created the soffice file - but Open Office wont open now. I tried deleting the old Open Office, but that hasn't helped - the error I recieve is GET STORAGE NAME, and something about the soffice.cfg file.Which as I mentioned, I did create. Question is - should I have put something in this file ? Or is something else messed up ?
