And we appreciate the space savings, especially over Ooo-1.1.3.

I might add that if you have attempted to install
openoffice.org-core-1.9.89-3 before removing the earlier version,
you will probably need to run the "additional cleanup step"
listed here:

  rpm -e <all installed Ooo packages>
  rm -fr /usr/lib/openoffice.org1.9.8*   # additional cleanup step
  cd /var/cache/yum/development/packages
  rpm -Uvh openoffice.org-*1.9.89-3*

By the way, some testers are getting the message

  warning: openoffice.org-core-1.9.89-3:
     Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 30c9ecf8

You should consider importing some GPG keys into rpm:

  cd /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3.90
  rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY*

(It seems that the installation can't do this
automatically.)
