Re: RHE AS miss openoffice.

[Eric Hagberg morganstanley com]

I really don't see why the AS product wouldn't ship with everything on the
CDs, but only install everything if you asked for it (including all the
WS-only packages).

The default installation for AS could still be the "server" setup that
doesn't contain these extra WS rpms.

Stripping some packages out of the WS distro makes sense if it costs less,
but making people who have spent extra for AS jump through hoops to get
these other packages just doesn't cut it.
