Ah, but I do... that was the point. As mentioned atrpms doesn't even
carry OOo just it's mirror and I couldn't get smart to go to another
mirror for some strange reason, even after turning atrpms completely off
and even after erasing atrpm's entry. Go figure. I was trying to force
it to use the fedora repo directly. 

One more question, is there a way to get smart to only download a couple
or just one rpm at a time? When it tries to dnload 5 or 6 at a time, I
get a pile of time-outs. I have DSL but it's the cheap seats variety.
