<snip> Nicolas: I haven't had enough coffee this morning and my first reply asked about removing via yum. Apparently, the corrupted (partially removed) installation of OO was not installed via yum. Questions: Where should I look for remnants of that installation? Do I need to do that manually or are there yum or rpm commands I can use to remove the remnants? TIA! Lanny
you should ba able to list all installed rpms from OO.org with this command: rpm -qa | grep -P 'openoffice|ooobasis'
you then want to feed these packages to 'rpm -e' ("erase", ie uninstall).
when you're clean of all openoffice packages, use yum to install the centos version.
