Tru is correct that the comps.xml for 3.3 references openoffice and not
openoffice.org
So yum is the way to install openoffice.org
As to the minimum install, I agree that the number of packages installed
by RH is not really minimal, but we are installing the same packages, as
it is our goal to have CentOS install like RHEL.
