Just as an extra little pointer. I believe the beta of OOo included with 9.3 is a SuSE modification, so it might be wise to uninstall the SuSE version before installing the OOo build. The installation method I use is as follows: Use Ark to extract the files. When the tar package is extracted it creates sub-directories "RPMS" and "RPMS/desktop-integration". As root: cd some-directory/RPMS rpm -Uvih *rpm If there are no errors. Use Package Manager to install the SuSE menus package found in the "RPMS/desktop-integration" directory.
