Depending on how you installed OOo, you may have a visible directory named openoffice.org2.0 and a hidden one named .openoffice.org2 in your home directory but never one labelled OOo 2.0.2 unless this was installed from your Mandriva set. If you installed from the downloadable image from www.openoffice.org as root and did not change any defaults OOo should be in /opt with the UI stuff installed from the rpm in the desktop* directory of the install set. So I conclude that something is very wrong on your system and recommend that you completely remove the existing openoffice.org rpms and start over by downloading from www.openoffice.org. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
