How to install openoffice?

[Mike Wright]

Hi all,

Using f14.x64

I'm trying to install a basic openoffice package with calc and whatever 
reads .pps files.

yum install openoffice.org* gives me this:

Install     332 Package(s)

Total download size: 874 M
Installed size: 2.3 G
Is this ok [y/N]: N

Is this for real?  I don't have much use for hundreds? of language packs 
(my Gurkali is a bit rusty).

Does anybody know the magic yum incantation to install something 
reasonable?  332 packages just doesn't feel reasonable to me.

TIA,
Mike Wright

And what happens if you try:

yum install openoffice.org-impress openoffice.org-calc

Yup, but only because you told it too. I'm not sure which magic
package will will in a basic install but here's what I have installed:

I would just "yum install openoffice.org-core"

that and a few depenacies only uses about 300mb

[bsfmig]

yum install openoffice.org-base openoffice.org-core openoffice-calc
openoffice-write --exclude=openoffice.org-langpack-*
yum install openoffice.org-langpack-*<your_language_if_not_en_US>*
or your installation will be incomplete.

yum grouplist

will give you the name of the group install with a:
yum groupinstall

The group is Office/Productivity

[Dan Daloia]

How about:

yum groupinstall Office

This should install a basic set of packages for Open Office.
