As root:

  ./setup -net

Or, if you have problem connecting to the display: something like:

  DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/home/tzafrir/.Xauthority ./setup -net

And later, as a user:

  /opt/OpenOffice.org644/setup

and choose "station"

On 643 there was the command-line install, which was faster and simpler.
But it seems to be gone in 644.

As for the README: it is practically worthless.

How exactly did you install it, and how exactly did you run it?

Maybe you need a specific path. But what do you need the java for, anyway?

BTW: any idea how difficult it is to build an openoffice apt source of
that snapshot sources? It is bound to be much easier and faster to insall.
Ditto for rpms.
