I got these instructions from the following link:
ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/powerpc/openoffice/633b/OpenOffice.README_ppclinux
There's also a headline on penguinppc.org regarding OpenOffice 633 with a
link to a PPC binary
Install Instructions (for Single Workstations)
----------------------------------------------
This thing is huge, you need probably 250 meg free at least.
tar -zxf oo633b_installer.tar.gz
cd installer_633
chown -R your_favorite_userid:your_favorite_group ./
The installer is graphical (use XFree86)
To install OpenOffice simply run the following command:
./setup
Then follow the prompts and remember to browse to select
your jdk 1.3 installation location.
****NOTE**** The installer is still slow. After answering some
basic questions you may want to go get a coffee until the
final Completion Message (and button) appears.
To run OpenOffice cd to your installation site and run
the following command:
./soffice
Hope that helps.
