Openoffice on Fedora 10 KDE

Hi,

I am trying to install openoffice on my Fedora 10 KDE distro.

Sofar I did:

(as root) # yum install openoffice.org-core.i386

And it finished the downloading/installation process.

Now I am not familiar with YUM (I'm an apt-get guy), so I'm not sure if it was completely installed or not. I cannot find openoffice in the menu, but also cannot run it out of my terminal. ATM it seems like it was not installed fully.

Can someone help me to get this running without downloading the whole almost 200MB files again?

I have Googled countless times, but to no avail.

Ok for those interested, I found some sort of workaround by doing:
# yum install yum install openoffice.org-calc
and
# yum install openoffice.org-writer
to install the packages I need most.
However I would still like to know how you install the whole OO.o package (all packages) using yum, but this has worked for me.
