You can also get internationalization packages from openoffice's website. These can be converted with rpm2tgz, though I exploded them all after they had been converted and repackaged as one package with makepkg. An awful lot easier to track with one package.
I'm running an aging Celeron 850 with 768 MB RAM on Slackware 12.1. Using Robby's package is less time-consuming for me on this beast than a slackbuild script. But, a slackbuild script will get the job done just as well:-)
but i'm still curious with the codename.
OOO300m9 is the codename for OOO 3.0 RC4
and if i'm not mistaken, the final release of OOo never used M9 code in the about box
anyways, i have asked this on their marketing mailing list and should have a response in a while
Does anyone know if there are language packs available?
I cannot find them.
I installed OOo 3 yesterday but almost got lynched by my wife and kids: "it's in English!".
So we're back to 2.4 now...

AFAIK, that's RC4
Official OOo release never used m3 on their about dialog box
anyways, i used rpm2tgz and i can't use navigation keys on OOo 3 (home, end, page up, page down, arrow keys). Do you have the similar problem?
Yes I have exactly the same problem. On top of that, backspace doesnt work.
Going to tools->customize and resetting the keyboard shortcuts also crashes the application. Its better to wait for the next bugfix by the looks of things, and theres not really that much things useful in 3.0 anyway (and you still cant select multiple objects in writer...) that justifies the instability and loosing the use of backspace and arrow keys.
