This is the option that I use and I install OpenOffice.org 2.0 to several MacIntosh computers. Actually, I have to download two files, but that is because of the different Mac platforms. >>(b) download the CD-R images on Computer A (~500+MB), burn >> them to CD, and run them on Computer B? Only if you want a semi-permenant archival copy. If you were to install to several different operating systems, I would use this option. >> Any help would be greatly appreciated. >> Paul > > What I do is what you might call choice (c).

The ISO should not have the Mac versions on it as these are not supplied by Sun, but rather a separate effort. >Download the install file. Check it with md5sum.

I would advice that if you use the Flash Drive, copy the >install file to the computer on which you will be installing OOo. As I stated above, option (a) is what I use. I don't need an archival copy of OpenOffice.org.
