What Chris says, plus the fact that every time I've installed OOo from
the site I've ended up with an unstable installation which does not
conform with RedHat standards. If I wait for the stable version, I don't
have these problems, but I also don't get the latest features such as
DocBook XML editing. I'll look forward to a stable version with all the
DocBook capabilities, though.
