HUH? You can do this using rpms. I do not understand the problem. Installing to another location is covered in http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/2.x/en/SETUP_GUIDE.pdf and even shows how to use other tools. Try it. Just because it was not included in the download image should preclude you from getting it and making use of any of the methods described therein. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
