Installation
OpenOffice.org database, Java, equation editor support

    * For reasons of disk space, the database and equation editor
components of OpenOffice.org, as well as Java integration support, are
not included on the installation CDs. To get the full OpenOffice.org
suite after install, you can select "OpenOffice.org Office Suite" from
the Applications -> Add/Remove menu, or install the openoffice.org
metapackage using the package manager.

With a network connection, the liveCD installer should fetch and install
the complete OOo package as no OOo packages are on the liveCD:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.list

On the AlternateCD the OOo packages are included but limited by the CD size:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.list
But again, if there is a network connection at installation time, the
OOo installer should go out and fetch the missing packages.

However, the complete OpenOffice.org package _is_ included on the DVD:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/release/ubuntu-8.04.1-dvd-i386.list
So the _DVD_ installer should recognize this and install the complete
OOo package.
