You can use the following commands to unpack the DEBs and copy everything to an installation directory, note that you may want to exclude the openoffice.org-*-integration_* packages to not clutter up your desktop, so move them away first. mkdir temppath cd temppath for x in PathToDebs/*.deb; do alien --to-tgz --generate $x; done mkdir YourInstPath cp -av */opt/openoffice.org2.0/* YourInstPath Then edit YourInstPath/program/bootstraprc to let UserInstallation point to a path not interferring with your work environment. Do this before running OOo the first time. If building RPMs, ftp://ftp.stardiv.de/pub/OpenOffice.org/developer/install_scripts/ has some scripts to install RPMs in userland.
