SOT Office 2002 ?

[Brett I. Holcomb]

Well for one thing with OOoyou need a Green Hornet secret decoder ring to 
figure out how to install it.  You have to use a /net and other options to 
get it to work but that's not in any readme or other docs that come with 
641D binary OR source.  I did remember from a distant time when I installed 
SO 5.2 that there were options - this after I did the OOo install and found 
it didn't work - but I didn't remember them.  However, I never found 
anything on the web site and was stuck until someone on the OOo mailing 
list gave me an obscure URL that explained what to do.  I haven't tried OOo 
1.0 or whatever is the current version but maybe they do actually tell you 
how to install it now so you don't have to be psychic <G>.

Things like this make rpm -Uvh or rpm -ivh more and more attractive.
