What I do not like it the statements that makes me feel that I have no 
control of how the packages are installed.  I always do a custom install 
of packages to make sure I only install things I want.  For LO, I make 
sure I install only the languages and dictionaries I want.  There are 
some packages that has a "default" of adding toolbars and other things 
to other packages, like browsers, that are not acceptable to my point of 
view.

I never heard of this "Ninite" so I did not know about how much "trust" 
I would give it.

Also, does Windows LO still need a JRE installed BEFORE it gets 
installed?  Use to be yes.  If such a "auto install" system tries to 
install LO with no JRE installed first, then problems. . . .
