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

Therefore this tar.gz-Installer is not an officially supported
Sun-internal build. Currently Sun internal builds are always rpm builds
(of course this might change in the future). But anyone else can create
(and test) this new
installation sets. Additionally Sun offers the OOo Development builds in
this new tar.gz format.

I cannot find the tar.gz-Installer, nor can anyone else.
Is it only Mythware?
You create it. See
http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/2.x/en/SETUP_GUIDE.pdf
and look for the Slackware section. You need the utility rpm2tgz.
The difficulty for some is that the so-called "utility rpm2tgz" is not
always available. You cannot even get it on Linux Packages, although it
is mentioned there.
