Well, if you're using CentOS or any other distribution that uses yum, you can specify it to download to specific directory and not install.

Or you can grab the packages directly from the open office site, burn to cd or whatever and then install by those means.

I think he is asking for something like this:

also look here:

only for use on fedora - which is rpm-based AFAIK and does not use "apt"

I there a similar way?

If you have Fedora Core 1 (FC1), I would suggest you update to something more modern. If, for example, you install Fedora 8 or 9, you'll get a recent version of OpenOffice in the process.

Holy crap, how did I miss that. Umm, yeah, FC1 is worst than running Red Hat 9.. hell, almost worst than running Red Hat 6.2..
