Joep,

No need to cc me unless you are sending only to me - I read/post to the
list. You are of course welcome to email me directly, but turn off the
cc when replying to the list please :-)

Updating from LibreOffice will *not* remove your OOo if you install the
new version in the same manner as the one you have installed already.
Read my response to Avraham in the 'LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice'
thread on how to install. You just download 3.3.2 and install - it will
install just fine over your existing LO in the /opt directory.
