See http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/2.x/en/SETUP_GUIDE_draft.pdf for a method of handling rpms while we wait for native-installers for all distros. rpm2cpio.pl may be had from http://www.iagora.com/~espel/rpm2cpio . What is nice about this tool is that it will even work under Windows. Maybe we should just add it to the RPM tar.gz and update the README and include the SETUP_GUIDE.pdf as we did in 1.1.x. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
