Installing Open Office org in RHEL5

First want to download Open office ,

And save it in desktop ( for basic user )

Use following comment to extract package ,

tar zxvf OOo_{VERSION}_LinuxIntel_install_en-US.tar.gz

---- eg. #tar zxvf OOo_3.1.1_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz

Now want to install rpm, for that first goto rpm folder

cd SOMEDIR/RPMS

---- eg. #cd OOO310_m19_native_packed-1_en-US.9420/RPMS/

After that you install the rpms by doing

#su -

#rpm -ivh *.rpm desktop-integration/*redhat*

have to replace the {VERSION} part with the actual version listed in the file you downloaded. Same thing with SOMEDIR, replace that with the name of the actual directory that gets extracted after running the first command.
