I was just wondering if anyone here knows why the OO.org packages on 
RHEL/Centos are so huge.
Eg. On Mandriva 2006:
40834529 OpenOffice.org
113064600 OpenOffice.org-libs
20124669 OpenOffice.org-help-en
19976941 OpenOffice.org-l10n-en

= ~185MB

On Centos 4:
683298379 openoffice.org-i18n
124072694 openoffice.org
111894560 openoffice.org-libs

= ~876MB!!

When I say 'installed by default' I mean that I selected the 'Office' 
package group during the install of both OSes and didn't make any custom 
package selections. Both OSes have OO.org 1.1 working fine, I'm just 
wondering why costs me nearly 5 times as much disk space on RHEL/Centos 
than it does on another distro?
