But when i was about to print the result, i plugged in the network cable and hit print - the printer's (network printers shared through a CUPS server on the LAN) wasn't there... So i restarted OO. It took about 1-3 minutes *shutting down* OO (it had swapped out something like 300 MB), and then at least a minute starting it up again (as "everything" was out in the swap...). And i was in a hurry... So i have some questions: - Why did OO stop discovering printers when they are added (it did before - just close the printer dialogue and reopen it) - Why does OO load many hundred MB of dictionaries? I don't care if a misspelled word happen to be correct in Czech. (Norwegian misspelled words has some tend to be correct in that language.) It also slows down the spellchecker a *lot*. - Why aren't OO quickstart included in fedora? At least #2 should be quite fixable right now (just send an update)...
