I told you, because they only include koffice, not kde 2.

They're not "better", they're different in that they don't provide a desktop
but an office suite, possibly for inclusion in 7.1.
KDE-2 is not ready to be used by "the masses", which is why it's not part
of it.
And I also like the fact that it finally proves that KOffice does NOT require
kde 2 (nor even kde 1). It's a complete office suite that can be run
under any window manager / desktop.

I wouldn't do that ;-)
I'm afraid /opt/kde2 is hardcoded in the wrapper scripts used by my
koffice packages ... :-}
But you can grab the sources and compile them using the prefix you want ;-)
