Well, if you can wait a minute for OpenOffice to start, it works well enough; especially if you're familiar with the performance of computers from 1996. :-)
The install includes a few menu icons and 'debbie oowriter' will start the word processor from the command line (or in Personal Menu).
You want 'dbus switchboard' if you want to do MIME type handling. You can assign applications to file types so clicking on links in the browser, the file manager or in an e-mail will launch your chosen app.

I will look into the easy-deb-chroot stuff (running Debian since 1996 on all my systems:-). So far I thought chroot is only a toy and openoffice is far
too heavy for realworld usage.
How enduser friendly is such an installation. E.g. can it be configured that clicking on a ppt document in the browser opens OpenOffice as viewer right away? Do I have to start OO always from the cmd line or is there an easy way to make it showing up in any kind of menu?
Many thanks,
Rainer
