Installing OpenOffice 3.0

[Joel Hammer]

Well, I just tried the --nodeps approach. It worked, because the java
output kept telling me which rpm's had failed to install.

I am still running an old linspire distro (debian), but I have modified
it so it can use rpm's as well, some how.

Well, office3 is up and running. I don't see any big
changes so far.  All my old office macros are working,
so no complaints.

Thanks for the help.

Joel
