   Newbie strikes back :)

   I've just installed Libre office through Package manager....bla bla bla... install...bla bla bla ....got message Libre Office installed etc.
   but I can't find it anywhere to start working with it
   Am I supposed to do anything more ?

   Where do the fresh installed packages go (in which folder/directory ,whatever is called) ?

   All commands in sakura terminal as root.

   Verify executable exists on system:
   tazpkg search-file soffice$

   Find symlinks to soffice:
   ls -l /usr/bin | grep soffice

   Start libreoffice if symlink exists:
   soffice

   Find libreoffice .desktop files:
   tazpkg list-files LibreOffice | grep desktop$
   Change path /usr/lib/libreoffice*/share/xdg/*desktop in command below if different.

   Create symlinks to desktop files for Applications menu :
   cd /usr/share/applications
   Copy/paste this:
   for i in $(ls /usr/lib/libreoffice*/share/xdg/*desktop); do ln -sf $i; done
   Hit enter,shortcuts to start libreoffice should be in Applications/Office.

   Hi Mojo ,
   It seems that no files of Libre Office had installed
   All I had done is to search the package of Libre Office through Package manager ,tick the box of libre office, press install button and after a few seconds I got a message saying "get-libreoffice" installed
   Am I supposed to do any further actions ?

   PS
   I am new at Slitaz and linux distros in general but experienced enough in GUI systems , and I can follow well documented steps in terminal .
   I have installed many packages in distros like Mint or similar where installation was out of a box (ok ,everybody does) but I really like slitaz's lightness and speed and I want to improve myself ,as user, and to install lightwight distros to old and weak laptops and donor them to really poor people who they only need a pc for a little use of office applications ,emails , webbrowsing, simple radio and video streaming etc.

   If the installation didn't install anything there is nothing you can do.
