That's pretty much you have to do but there are some subtleties 
you have to consider like:
        1) You have to install or update your java before installing
soffice. 
        2) As a root, you have to install soffice first with /net option 
on. Then make a symlink of /usr/local/soffice/setup (or wherever 
soffice `setup` is located) to /usr/local/bin/setup. This will enable 
ordinary users to setup their own soffice as Ian said.
        3) In many cases, the lean option (1.5M installation) will not 
work if an ordinary user installs soffice on his/her home dir. In that case, 
he/she should install soffice using full version (around 180M!). 
        4) Make changes on your path variable.
