How about grabbing the .src.rpm file from 1.92/rawhide - and rebuilding on FC1?
As I asked what is 1.92?
1.92 is FedoroCore2 Test3 snapshot (FC2T3).
This is an option. I have never done this but I am willing to learn.
You'll need plenty of disk space - and more than a few hours time (OO is pretty big). Some instructions are at: (more than what I would do)
http://fedoranews.org/tchung/rpmbuild/ http://fedoranews.org/hoyt/rpm/
Quick summary:
## Create a build setup in your home dir. cd ~ cp -a /usr/src/redhat/ rpmbuild echo '%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild' >> .rpmmacros echo '%debug_package %{nil}' >> .rpmmacros
## Download the src rpm, and try building: wget ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/development/SRPMS/openoffice.org-1.1.1-4.src.rpm rpmbuild --rebuild openoffice.org-1.1.1-4.src.rpm
## You'll mostlikely get 'errors of required packages. Install them (as root and retry) sudo yum install packages rpmbuild --rebuild openoffice.org-1.1.1-4.src.rpm

## One of the dependent packages is not part of FC1 - so I would ## rebuild this from src.rpm from rawhide as well - and install it ## (before trying to rebuild openoffice.org-1.1.1-4.src.rpm)
wget ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/development/SRPMS/libgnomecups-0.1.6-7.src.rpm rpmbuild --rebuild libgnomecups-0.1.6-7.src.rpm cd ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386 sudo rpm -Uvh libgnomecups-0.1.6-7.i386.rpm libgnomecups-devel-0.1.6-7.i386.rpm
Whenever you get errors on missing (devel) package - keep installing them using yum (as root).

Thanks for the info on 1.92 and what that is. I have been curious from time to time.
I looked at the idea of using an RPM and checkinstall but I have decided just to use the tarball. It is much easier and I am familiar with that. Oh well.
It was easy to rpm -e openoffice.org* and install the tar.gz.
I like the OOo icons better. :)
