Done that before. However, of late there has been some differences
between Fedora's version of OOo and the official one. One important
one is that spadmin is now missing from the FC2 version. The reason
being that OOo's font requirement is handled directly by X. So if you
have extra fonts installed under X, they will be available to OOo as
well. I find this a good feature. I am not sure if teh official one
still retains spadmin.

Ofcourse, this also takes away the option of adding additional or
custom printers with OOo.

But the point is that you get a better integrated version of OOo if
you stick to the distro version. Ofcourse your installed version may
lag from time to time from the official version, even on a distro like
FC2 ;).
