Newbie question : installing open office new version

[Cian Duffy]

I believe the Linux rpm's on the openoffice.org site for OO.o 2.x are
x86 only. These, cannot, for obvious reasons be installed on YDL.

However, if they are ppc rpm's, extract them to one directory, cd to
it at the command line, and rpm -ivh *.rpm should install it.
