Were did you get your packages from (what version?):
On my mirror in /centos/4.2/os/SRPMS: 181772014 Sep 1 01:04 openoffice.org-1.1.2-28.6.0.EL4.src.rpm and in /centos/4.2/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS: 122007463 Aug 23 12:10 openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.2-28.6.0.EL4.i386.rpm 35739789 Aug 23 12:10 openoffice.org-1.1.2-28.6.0.EL4.i386.rpm 40267738 Aug 23 12:11 openoffice.org-libs-1.1.2-28.6.0.EL4.i386.rpm 105134 Aug 23 12:10 openoffice.org-kde-1.1.2-28.6.0.EL4.i386.rpm total 195MB or thereabouts

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?
