Hi

I don't know if i'm answering the question, but.....

I've installed both of these (OOo 1.1.2 and Firefox 0.9.3) from generic 
windows type installers from the product websites. Having said that, 
both were confusing:

OOo requires a network install for the system then a user install for 
each person.

FireFox installed itself on top of the distro files in my home 
directory, so to run it i do:

peter at icecube:~> ./firefox-installer/firefox &

I don't like the binary being here but there are other things to worry 
about.....
