140 Untaring the libreoffice-core-&libreoffice-version;.4 tarball as
141 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> has the curious effect of
142 changing the ownership of the <emphasis>parent</emphasis> directory
143 to a user with numerical id 11012 and with the permissions set to allow
144 read, write and execute for that user only! If you untared as
145 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> in your home folder you
146 could end up unable to log in again :/ If you untared it in
147 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename> you would find your user
148 account unable to access any file in
149 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>.

153 You can avoid this unpleasantness by

157 <option>--no-overwrite-dir</option> to tar. This is the default when you
158 untar as a user but has to be passed as an option when untaring as

250 <option>--disable-binfilter</option>: These "binfilters" enable

254 <application>Java</application>.

276 LibreOffice with the ability to connect to a PostgreSQL database. If you
277 would like LibreOffice to be able to connect to a PostgreSQL database
278 remove this option. If you have installed PostgreSQL on your system and
