Mandrake builds openoffice packages specifically for the Mandrake distro and 
it is distributed in the iso images and boxed sets.  All you should have to 
do is type 'urpmi openoffice' at a root console, or use the software 
installer if you want a gui.

It's part of the Mandrake distro and you can get the rpms either from your 
cd's or from the distribution tree on any Mandrake ftp mirror.  Of course, 
you can get precompiled binaries for OO.o directly from OO.o, but these are 
harder to install and not as efficient because they are statically compiled.
