After installing SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES 11), there are some packages that may be required that’s not on the SLES 11 DVD but is available from the SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (SLED 11) DVD. One such example is OpenOffice.org.

If you already have the SLED DVD, you can install from it by adding the SLED DVD as a new repository.  If you don’t, you can download the ISO image from Novell.

Once downloaded, you need to;

1. Start Yast –> Software Manager
2. Ctrl-R or go to Configuration –> Repositories
3. Click on “Add” and select “Local ISO image …”
4. Key in the location of the ISO image, agree to the license agreement and you will have it included in your repository 
5. Search for “openoffice” and select “OpenOffice_org”.  Click on “Accept” and it will install accordingly.
6. You will have it installed on your system.  Go to your start menu, click on “Application”, you will find OpenOffice.org application icons.

Good luck!
