How to build an OpenOffice.org2.3.sfs file in your langauge

Edited (file extension of Slackware package was wrong).
Hi All,
Here I describe my success of building a localized OpenOffice sfs file.
Steps:
1. Download an official .tgz (Slackware) packaged and localized OpenOffice file.
2. Place the file into a new folder in your root folder and unpack it. I did that into a directory named "ooo". The best way is to open a terminal window in the "ooo" directory and run the "gunzip -c <here comes the file name> | tar -xvf-" command.
3. Now you should see a directory called "install" in /root/ooo.
4. In this directory there is a script called doinst.sh which creates symlinks to various places. I modified it to create symlinks to the unpacked files in /root/ooo. I attached the modified script:
Run it in terminal.
5. Now the almost last step left to do. Open a terminal window in /root and run the "mksquashfs ooo /mnt/home/OpenOfficeOrg2_3.sfs" command to create your new sfs file in /mnt/home (I packaged also the "install" directory, maybe it can be excluded).
6. When it's done open the "bootmanager" utility and choose the new sfs file.
7.Reboot
Good luck,
Matu
