Have installed the DEB packages on Ubuntu? There is no options to limit installed packages. The only way I have found is to use the package manager to remove unwanted packages.

Well... you just don't install those you don't want. Example:
:~/tempdir/LibO_3.4.2rc3_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS$
$ ls libreoffice3.4-dict*
libreoffice3.4-dict-en_3.4.2-203_i386.deb
libreoffice3.4-dict-es_3.4.2-203_i386.deb
libreoffice3.4-dict-fr_3.4.2-203_i386.deb
$ ls libobasis3.4-extension*
libobasis3.4-extension-beanshell-script-provider_3.4.2-203_i386.deb
libobasis3.4-extension-javascript-script-provider_3.4.2-203_i386.deb
libobasis3.4-extension-mediawiki-publisher_3.4.2-203_i386.deb
libobasis3.4-extension-nlpsolver_3.4.2-203_i386.deb
libobasis3.4-extension-pdf-import_3.4.2-203_i386.deb
libobasis3.4-extension-presentation-minimizer_3.4.2-203_i386.deb
libobasis3.4-extension-presenter-screen_3.4.2-203_i386.deb
libobasis3.4-extension-python-script-provider_3.4.2-203_i386.deb
libobasis3.4-extension-report-builder_3.4.2-203_i386.deb
And if you've installed (via $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb), you can easily
remove via:
/opt/libreoffice3.4/share/extensions
Example:
$ sudo rm -R /opt/libreoffice3.4/share/extensions/dict-fr

Thanks. Normally I just ran the sudo dpkg -i *.deb, never though to looks at the actual files and remove them from the mix.

I believe the Mac uses the system dictionaries, the system languages and the
system spell checker.
You don't need two versions, so why do you need a choice?
Extensions and Templates are different as they are unique to LibreO.
Whoever produces the Mac version doesn't think a choice is needed, otherwise
he would have included the option.
I certainly do not feel I am missing anything.

I have been looking at Kexi as well. As I understand it, Kexi currently
offers read-only access to DBs not actually created from within Kexi. If
you have already created a database, you will not have write access to that
DB. That said, if you create the DB from within Kexi, you can use it more
or less as a front-end. I haven't tried it yet on my Debian-KDE box, but I
may do just that. I think Calligra is going to be worth watching.
I have used Base and learned a fair amount in the process. Based on the
number of postings about Base here on the list, I certainly hope it gets
more attention. I would offer to jump in, but I honestly can't code my way
out of a wet paper bag. 
I have used OOo/LO for several years now, but mind you, I am supportive of
most libre projects.

Hi Tom,

No, it will probably not get worked on as it is perceived by those who
build the Mac versions of LibreOffice that it would not correspond to
the Mac way of installing software.
You get a DMG file, this is a self-contained disk image which when you
mount it (e.g. by double-click), expands to present a folder window
containing the application to install, some short documentation (help,
readme, etc) and a symbolic link to the usual installation folder on
Mac, i.e. Applications. This is traditionally one of the two main ways
of installing Mac apps using a graphical interface.
The other way is to use the pkg format, optionally encapsulated in a
DMG, (e.g. used by NeoOffice, but also Apple for some packages), which
does often have a series of dialogues allowing the user to indicate
which disk it would like to install the software to, accept the licence
conditions, and optionally select or deselect additional elements to be
installed (or not).
Upon installation, an entry entitled LibreOffice is created in the
Applications folder, and when the app is launched for the first time by
a user, a LibreOffice folder is also created in the users /Application
Support folder.
Additional language packs for LibreOffice are installed in a slightly
different way, as they use AppleScript to copy the files over to the
LibreOffice folder. In this case, the language packs are provided as a
DMG, which open when mounted to provide an *.app (another packaged
installation format), which is essentially an AppleScript wrapper around
a bundle of files, which presents a rudimentary dialog for selecting the
path for their installation.

Hi
You are right. We can't use .kexi DB with other program. It isn't a
standard file. I hope than in the future they change it.

Please start a new thread rather than hijacking the "How do I delete
unwanted Extensions?" thread. Meaning start a *new* email with your
subject rather than simply using anothers thread and changing the subject.

That shows that you are replying to posts from other users instead of
starting your own thread. Note: those headers may differ depending upon

Note to those replying to 'jorge'; please mind the same & rather than
respond to a thread hijacker, politely ask them to start a new thread.

Oops, sorry. Good point

Hi
Excuse me if I don't understand very well but not allways I understand
all the english meaning languaje. But I try ! I did a new topic as I
understood your coment.
Excuse me if I bother you with this topic but I think it would be
important for someone.
I red that we can use Sqlite 3 to access .kexi data base file and I
installed Sqliteman (front end of Sqlite) and accessed it and made
changes and save it. Then I opened with kexi again and they was
recognized.

Excuse me:
I read (past) not red (pronunciation)

Hi Jorge
Don't worry. Most of us appreciated your posts and still do
Mailing Lists are really old-fashioned and seem to have developed all sorts of
unwritten rules over the decades that new people are supposed to just magically
know. People that do know some of those tricks think they are too obvious to be
worth writing down and get all upset when you don't conform to those unwritten
or obscurely hidden 'rules'.
It doesn't help that those older folk often lack social skills and have no idea
about etiquette such as being polite, friendly and welcoming. Strangely,
people that demand you obey unwritten "netiquette" fail to observe basic normal
etiquette and are also often quite insulting about people that follow rules
'excessively' (sometimes calling them drones). Sometimes the rudeness is due to
medical conditions such as slight autism or asperges syndrome or OCD all of
which can be helpful to programmers but not to human-to-human contact. We need
programmers to help answer questions on the Users List and in all areas of the
project.
There is a link to netiquette guidelines at the bottom of all messages but it's
not as comprehensive as these older folk think. It's also ambiguous and
difficult to understand.
When you want to start a new topic/thread you are supposed to click on "New"
rather than "Reply to" and then copy&paste the Users List email address into the
"To" field.
users@global.libreoffice.org
I'm not sure how to start a new thread in Nabble
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/nabble-mailing-list-interface/
Hopefully it's easier there. Nabble is a great way to view this mailing list
btw.
Anyway, the point is, don't worry about criticisms from a couple of people most
of us have appreciated your comments so keep up the good work
Good luck and regards from
Tom
Hi
Sorry about my last email! Please ignore my last post in this thread!
I am one of those older folks that has a very rigid set of rules that i expect
people to magically guess but my rules seem to be different from other
people's. Perhaps everyone has their own set of rules and we have to forgive
each other for not understanding them because their are too many and many are
from opposite view-points.
I'm also not great with people which is probably one reason i am in here a lot.
Regards and apols from
Tom
Hi Tom.
Always enjoy others comments, especially when no offense is intended.

Kexi is the database app in Calligra. Calligra is a fork of KOffice.
KOffice gave all their remaining database devs to Calligra and dropped
their version of
the database. Calligra seems very active.Unfortunately Calligra and KOffice are really quite dependant on the K
Desktop
Environment (KDE). They do have a port for Windows (and possibly Mac, i'm
not
sure). Calligra have also developed a few apps that can work on mobile
platforms but that doesn't include Kexi yet.
Hi Tom,
I am Kexi developer. Kexi is dependent only on KDE Frameworks, not KDE
Desktop. Like Libre Office, you can run Kexi with other desktops e.g. GNOME,
any many do that. To show how small the dependencies are, I would maybe
measure the real size of them e.g. for two popular distributions.
So, the non-KDE versions of distros are going to ask for a lot of
dependencies, probably Qt libraries and stuff. You will probably need to
add the appropriate official repos.
These days Qt is smalled in size than 5 average JPEG files
For Ubuntu you can try
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
to install all of Kubuntu into Ubuntu but you might want to revert to your
Gnome or Unity DE at the login prompt (have a look along the bottom
task-bar/panel when you get the login prompt).
'sudo apt-get install kexi' or so, would do the trick better because it
would install only dependencies needed by Kexi, not entire KDE Desktop.
I am looking forward to hear feedback from people that use Kexi outside of
KDE Desktop.

Kexi & Calligra (kexi-project.org, identi.ca/kexi, calligra-suite.org)
KDE Software Development Platform on MS Windows (windows.kde.org)
You can install KOffice in Gnome via Synaptic with Ubuntu. Several
dependencies are installed also, the number did not seem excessive
(about 5 for KEXI). You can enter KEXI or KOffice for the full suite.
I have not use Kexi, only perused the menus. It seems similar to Base.
What is the embedded database engine used?
