BTW, http://fedoranews.org/ has an article about HOWTO roll your own
OpenOffice.org rpm from the official installer.
The main difference b/t Fedora's OOo package and the official installer
is that the Fedora's packages allows multilingual applications. With
the official installer--I think--you have to run multiple installers,
respectively, for multiple languages.
With iiimf, supposedly you can install from the tar.gz files which are
distro-independent. However, iiimf is still a work in progress, and, as
I mentioned in my original "useless" post, at the present time, there
are very few documentations.
I don't know how many here have used xcin to input Chinese characters,
but it was ugly and grossly inadequate. Fedora developers decided to
make iiimf the default x input method for CJK in FC2. With a couple of
iterations, it now works seemingly quite well. The improvement is so
drastic that the combination of iiimf and OOo may have a potential of
mopping the floors with the Chinese version of Office, running in the
Chinese version of Windows XP-Pro. wayne
