Okay, I added multiple entries to the rpm -e command, and that seems to have mostly wiped out OpenOffice beta. But... In the /opt/openoffice.org1.9.122/program/ directory there are still two files remaining: [root@localhost program]# ls python python-core And they're flashing red, which I've never seen before. It's very ominous looking. I thought python was something seperate from OpenOffice. Can I remove these? How do I remove them? Dave
