I haven't tried OpenOffice, but if you can download it as a .rpm file, that
would be easier to install.  To install this .tar file, you will need to
use the command line.  Create a directory, cd into it and type
tar xvf /mnt/cdrom/NewFolder/OOo_1.0.1_LinuxIntel_install.tar
(you can copy and paste the filename, or use wildcards); then look for
a README.
