from debian packaging:
p@satan% cd /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org
p@satan% ls
changelog.Debian.gz README.Debian.gz README.html TODO
copyright README.gz README.japanese
but i didn't need instructions at all. if you install via rpm or deb,
i think it's all taken care for you. no wierd /net options to use.
