I followed the "Installation Instructions at: http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.4/instructions.html : 1. Unpack the downloaded image into a directory. For example, currently, the following command would unpack into the current directory: 2. tar xvzf OOo_2.0.4_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz 3. su to root, if necessary. 4. cd into the directory with the unpacked image. This could be RPMS. 5. Delete any rpm files that do not apply to your system. For example, on a Fedora Core 3 system, delete any rpms specific to another distribution such as openofficeorg-suse-menus-1.9.79-1.noarch.rpm. 6. Then execute rpm -Uvih *rpm.
I was gratified those steps were all successful. However, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do to make OpenOffice 2.1 actually start running. For example, should I type some commands at a command line prompt, is there an icon somewhere I should click on, should I use a file manager and navigate to some file somewhere that I should then run? I just installed OpenSuse 10.2 yesterday. I can still run their version of OpenOffice, 2.0, but I'm trying to install OpenOffice 2.1 to the point where I can actually make it run.
