First, you'll need to download all rpm-files from the given location
(the desktop-integration-packages are not necessecary for testing as
well as the testtool package). Next you'll need to open a terminal and
cd to the directory the downloaded files are and issue the following
command:

"for PKG in *.rpm ; do rpm2cpio ${PKG} | cpio -i -d ; done"

This will unpack the rpm-files. You can start the app by issuing the following 
command:
PATH_TO_DOWNLOADED_FILES/opt/openoffice.org2.4/program/soffice (-writer, -calc, 
-impress etc.). It will use your ~/.openoffice.org2 config-directory, so please 
back it up or use a clean account for testing.

Please do not try to make a system-wide-install and do not use them for
production - e.g. word-import sometimes is unreliable in this build (but
this seems not to be related to the cairotext-patch).

The main reason for this post was to mention the upstream-efforts in
coping with this annoying issue, unfortunately it seems like it will not
be included in upstream-2.4-release.

So I hope the members of the openoffice.org-scribblers-team will include
the above mentioned patch for hardy. (It seems like fedora-cvs has an
updated one for the 2.4-line to be included in fedora 9).
