The official CD and DVD only install a subset of OpenOffice.org, i.e.
Writer (word processing), Calc (spreadsheets) and Impress (presentations).
There are various reasons for this, but CD space is among them.

Since 8.04, we now have the capability to add additional software to the DVD
image which won't fit on the CD.  Currently, this is only used for language
support, but perhaps it would be useful to add the rest of OpenOffice.org as
well.

The DVD should contain all available language support, though.
