I never had any elaborate preferences or anything set up in OOo so there was no question of "safe", nothing to lose in installing a new version. So part of my "problem" is that I can't see the problem about "how to safely update".

What you don't understand is that he is running an outdated and unsupported
version of Mandrake, so there aren't any pre-made packages for his distribution
containing the latest version of OO.
Also, he was asking how to 'safely' upgrade. Running Windows, and using a
point-and-click interface to install software, really isn't very 'safe'.
Ugly is trying to deal with the lack of line-wrap in your 'mail client'.
