Does anyone know how and where to get a Linux tarball instead of the

Or Tarbell? ;-)

Actually, I thought the download from OOo was a tarball.
There was an outcry when OpenOffice moved from a universal installer to
the rpms which, as you say, are compressed into a tarball.
The outcome of the issue filed was that the software itself would be
available for installation from a tarball.
IOW, it is supposed to be possible to install simply by uncompressing a
tarball - in the same way that Mozilla products can be installed.
This other tarball (not to be confused with whatever you are talking
about) does not contain RPMs; it contains the software files, ready for
action and rarin' to go.
Well, it would do if it exists, which is the first question in
question. :-\
The second question is *where* is it?
Hi Terry
If it's any help, on gentoo I use rpm2tgz (after unpacking the download
tarball) and it proceeds to put everything where it belongs in /opt/
I realise that is not a direct answer to your inititial question.
