text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I've done this on my K12LTSP 4.2EL box 
several times. My method requires the use of the command line, but it 
has always worked pretty well for me. Basically, you simply download and 
un-targz the tarball from www.openoffice.org, and you get a 
subdirectory. In that subdirectory will live a bunch of rpm files. 
Change to that directory and (as root!) do the following: rpm -Uvh *.rpm 
This will take a while to finish. There will also be a directory called 
"desktop-integration". That contains all your icon/menu stuff for the 
new OO.o version that you're installing. Change to that directory and do 
this: rpm -Uvh openoffice.org-redhat-menus-<WhateverVersionIsThere>.rpm 
Have everybody log out and log back in, and you should be in business.
