I use 2.0.1 with fedora 3 and here are my install instructions
If you have a previous version of OO installed run this command # for x in `rpm -qa | grep -i openoffice`; do echo $x; rpm -e --nodeps $x; done This removes the previous verion Now install the new one Untar the tarball Cd into the RPMS directory #cd OOo_2.0.1_LinuxIntel_install/RPMS/ Run the command #rpm -ivh *.rpm Cd into the desktop directory #cd desktop-integration/ Install the desktop rpm package #rpm -ivh openoffice.org-redhat-menus-2.0.1-1.noarch.rpm That's it just clean up the tar extract directory. I have used this procedure for all fedora installs since 2.0 was released. Hope this helps.

(Listen folks, the guy has a point. There should be an installer in the root of the tar.) Anyhow, I have the 2.01 tar, all I see within is a bunch of rpm's with a readme that does not help. How do I install this thing? (I have manually removed ooo 1.4 to remove possible conflicts.) I want it installed in /opt/apps/oo2. (Fedora 4 with latest kernel via yum.)
