just extract the rpms into one folder and it will run statically just fine.

To do this you could use rpm2cpio then pipe to cpio to extract or (on slackware) rpm2targz :D

This is exactly the kind of probelm I've been talking about in the software installation thread.

Thanks you, I'll remember that if I ever use a non-rpm distro again.

How would a nube know you can do that?

I can't remember where now but I do remember being able to download a dep package from somewhere.

I'm assuming you want to install OpenOffice.org 2.1 on Ubuntu, just Google it.

yahurd:
no, i use dreamlinux but, seeing as ubuntu is the most popular distro, because its noob friendly it would make since to release some universal debs

H_TeXMeX_H:
Well, here is a script to get it all done in one shot ...

Using rpm2cpio and cpio:

--- Code: ---#!/bin/sh

tempdir=/tmp/oootmp$RANDOM

if test ! $# = 2
then
echo "Usage: `basename $0` inputfile outputdir"
echo 'For example:'
echo "`basename $0` OOo_2.1.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US.tar.gz /home/bob/Stuff"
else
mkdir $tempdir
tar -xzf "$1" -C $tempdir
cd $tempdir/*/RPMS
for i in *.rpm
do
rpm2cpio $i | cpio -id --quiet
done
mv opt "$2"
rm -rf $tempdir
fi

exit 0

--- End code ---
