To upgrade Openoffice.org from 1.1.x to 2.x, I removed openoffice.org with
yum remove openoffice
and then dowloaded and installed the latest Openoffice.org stuff from the OO
site itself. The file you download there is a compressed file of rpms. So
once I extracted them in a folder (you'll notice a redhat desktop
integration rpm in a subfolder there, which you can copy to the folder
where you dumped all the rpms), I just did
rpm -ivh openoffice*.rpm
in that folder.
