Hi, Ishe. We had to make some room on the ISO to keep it small enough
to fit on a CD. All that accessibility software takes up some space.
Anyway, to re-install OpenOffice, just open the System Menu with
Alt-F1, move up to the System Tools menu, press right-arrow to get to
the sub-menu, and then arrow down to the EasyInstall-Office
application. Run that, and it will re-install all the OpenOffice
stuff we had to remove.
