I do no belive "Cannot" is a major exageration in this case.  Check out
www.rpm.org.  The only way you can get current binaries or source to "rpm" is in
an rpm!  If your host does not have a native RPM then you need to go through
some strange bootstrapping.  Or as they helpfully suggest "The best way to get
RPM is to install Red Hat Linux.".  Neither option is something I can get the
average Linux user to do.

I finally managed to bootstrap an "rpm" on my system, and found the only
dependenciy was on /bin/sh.  All that work, which few others will bother with,
to find out that?  Then since I had not been using rpms I had to override that
dependency.

Bring back the old installer!  The only reason I see to use the new installer is
to encourage people to buy RedHat.

"If RPM is not supported by (installed on) a system OOo 2.0 can't be hosted on
the system."

Wow. That has got to be the most aristocratic comment I've ever seen in a
bugzilla. That's like owning a Pontiac Sunfire and a Chevrolet service shop
telling you their tires would only work on a Chevrolet Cavalier. Never mind that
the cars are essentially identical.

"Cannot" is a major exaggeration in this case.

What should be evaluated here? If RPM is not supported by (installed on) a 
system OOo 2.0 can't be hosted on the system. That's why I assigned this issue 
to the default owner of enhancements.

Right, not for the distribution, but you have a deep insight in installation :-)

I would propose to forward the issue to those evaluating requirements for the
installation process.

And what should I do with this issue? I'm not responsible for the distribution 
of OOo.
