[K12OSN] Openoffice upgrade

[David Trask]

With regard to the install error.....there is a bug in Fedora (depending
on what version you have) that will produce that error.  What I did (and
it worked) is at the boot prompt just before beginning the install type   
  linux = allowcddma    and that allowed the install to progress just fine.
