* Title speaks about de-DE locale of Openoffice.org.

Okay, now this works as following:
1. After installation Installer currently leaves the installation files on the
desktop, open this folder.
2. Now extract all the contents from the .cab files. (This works easily via the
context menu with the software I use, Iz-Arc.)
3. Recompress the extracted folders using 7-Zip (as .7z, using Ultra setting).

The new compressed file has a size of about 81 MB, compare that to the 114 MB of
the standard installer!
While an installer based on this might not help reduce server load on your side,
it will certainly help find more beta / RC testers, as well as make
Openoffice.org look somewhat more lightweight.
