I don't know how to save in different locations without touching the filename I'm trying to save (i.e. it doesn't create the file where the work is to be saved.) It more or less consistently locks the mouse buttons, and with varied attempted remedies disables the server-kill trio. (Cold shutdown.)

Word (l)user can open. I am using a beta of OO.o v2 on Fedora 4, dual
Opteron, 2GB with 6 firefox windows(with 3-15 tabs each), evolution
email, 8 terminal windows (with 1-5 tabs each), Adobe acrobat 7,
Bluefish, and a small pile of monitoring applets strewn about the dual
tool bars.

Get a new copy of OOo if you're having problems. v2 is looking very
nice.

The PNY GEforce 5200 did come out of the garbage from a Athlon dual RAM tech board the power circuitry which had ground-tabs on some half-bridge diode things self-desoldered (runaway current, overheat.) I will not post if OpenOfficeWriter works smooth when I dedicate word-processing to some stock machine with more memory. Again I am too wimpy to do a bug report, and I'm not a professional technician, so I can't solemnly proclaim what misinformation I've concocted from what angles I know of.

near capacity / means /tmp is getting full as well. Moving it and
linking it back in may cause issues with single mode as no other
partitions but / are mounted.
