OOo2.0 space concern
I did this, and it works quite well. But it took up a huge amount of
space on my harddrive.

I doubt that the "unofficial" Debian distribution is any smaller. The
OOo2.0 distribution takes ~284MB (OOo2.0 shipped with stripped
executable files) compared to ~219MB for OOo1.1.5 (which was about the
same for OOo1.1.4) plus the required jre weighing in at ~87MB.
Remember 2.0 added a database engine to the mix. The openoffice
website indicates that 2.0 will take 200MB disk space on linux - which
was somewhat optimistic.

300 MB of space would have been fine. However, before the install, I
had over 10 (ten) GBs of space left on my 40 GB drive. Afterward, I was
down to 1 (one) GB left; so, something went wrong somewhere. Is there a
way to list files by filesize? A program, or command similar to "ls"
that lists files, but sorts them in order of filesize? This way I could
attempt to track what is causing this excessive usage of space. I
believe the actual working install of OpenOffice.org is not, in and of
itself, the culprit (I'm guessing that uninstalling it via synaptic
would only free up a bit over 200 MB -- I'm basing this guess upon
viewing the listed created debs in synaptic, and marking them for
removal to see what synaptic would report). As always, all
suggestion/comments appreciated.
