Re: [libreoffice-users] Question about mkdir errors during desktop integration install

Hi :)
Can you create the folders yourself and then see if the script runs?  It will probably grumble 
about not being able to make the folders but then hopefully the rest of it should complete surely?  
I'm not sure it will work but it seems worth trying.
Regards from
Tom :)
