go to the directory in which your with alien made debian Ooo files are, and
do as 'root' # dpkg -i /DIR/*.deb
go ahter installation to:
/opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice and see if you can open OOo2.0 as
root.
do as root chmod 555 /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice
and open as $ with the commandline
[again] /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice
or if you use kde from desktop
good luck and let me know if this works
