You only need these packages and files if you want to build openoffice
by yourself directly from the scratch.
In any other way you just need an X11 windowmanager, equal if it's
XDarwin or Apple's X11 beta 2, and the finalbeta called
ooo1012darwinfb.dmg.gz which can be found on most european ftp servers
that mirror openoffice. I recommand the European servers because over
the last few times the american servers where totaly out of date with
their betas. This package contains everything you need and installs
everything needed which is not on your computer at the time of
installation.
Be also sure to have the latest OOo Start Script from Terry, which can
be found here:
<http://www.geocities.com/terry_teague/openoffice.html>. On the first
startup of OpenOffice choose your X11. In case you are using OroborOsX
you have to choose this app because Orobor has it's own startup
initialation process, which is different from the one of other
windowmanager which can be used with X11.

No problem, you're welcome. More informations on the OOo FinalBeta
testing can be found here in the Mac OS X Beta Testing Forum at
OOODocs.org.
