New User - Download Query
Hi there,
Having recently downloaded and installed OpenOffice.org 3 I see that I have what appears to be 4 separate program files on my system that are almost identical, all of which I have saved into a folder entitled 'Open Office'. The actual OOo program seems to be working fine on my new iMac, but I am wondering whether or not I need to keep all the 4 files, or if 3 are in fact duplicates which can be deleted.
The files downloaded are as follows:
OOo_3-1.3.0_MacOS_x86_install_en-us.dmg Date Modified 17 Jan 2011 15.28 169.5MB Disk Image
OOo_3-2.3.0_MacOS_x86_install_en-us.dmg Date Modified 17 Jan 2011 15.28 169.5MB Disk Image
OOo_3-3.3.0_MacOS_x86_install_en-us.dmg Date Modified 17 Jan 2011 15.28 169.5MB Disk Image
OOo_3-3.0_MacOSx86_install_en-us.dmg Date Modified 5 Feb 2011 15.33 169.5MB Disk Image
The Open Office Download Page seems to imply that the program needs around 400MB of disk space so I am confused by the total amount of the Download.
As each file has a slightly different numerical beginning I am lead to wonder if each one listed may perhaps be an updated version of the previous file, and whether the last one (i.e. OOo_3-3.0_ ...) is the only one which I need to keep, but before deleting anything I would appreciate it if someone could give me advice in this connection.
Thank you to anyone who can help.

Peter,
Once you have installed any program, the dmg file can be ejected. Make sure you have dragged the icon to the application file and if you want to keep the help folders that were down loaded drag them to your desktop or a document folder.

Those are the disk images which contain the application. Once you copy OpenOffice.org.app into
your Applications folder you can delete the .dmg file. Did you install OOo?
The .dmg is a compressed file and once opened, the application is contains is about 400MB.
