Hi Edward, Thank you very much. I rebuild the rpm database using this command as a root user: rpm -vv -rebuilddb then cd to the openoffice folder and type rpm -ivh *.rpm and my computer install openoffice within 2 min Then I cd to desktop-integration folder and type rpm -ivh the_specifce_rpm_for_the_redhat.rpm the file is installed in 20 seconds. Finally I go back to the main menu/office/ I can see all the openoffices are on desktop. Another question: How do I remove the older version(1.1 version) away?
