Oops sorry missed that you wanted it in the /apps directory. The rpms by default install in /opt/openoffice.org2.0. You could use these procedures then just create a symbolic link in /opt/apps to it. It would work! But why bother the menus all expect /opt/openoffice.org2.0.

(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.)
