OpenOffice 2.0 - Manual Installation

[Alfred Vahau]

Guess I created more work for myself by not downloading the debian 
version for a start.
However, with the rpms I had, the alien and dpkg commands worked very 
well and oop2.0
is up and running with the symlink provided.

However executing /usr/bin/soffice now results in the warning message 
that JRE cannot be found.
This is further confirmed by the command
which java
which does not result the path. i.e java not installed.

Back to another installation.

Alfred,
