It is not completely clear. There is also a directory under RPMS called desktop-integration. In there you should find another rpm suitable for your system (I don't know what you have). Then run (as root) rpm -Uvih <your-selected-rpm> This will create menu entries for you to find the applications. If that fails, then you should find an executable with the name soffice. (Try the command which soffice initially in a terminal.) You can then start it through that program. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
