It's your website too... this is free project.

I must agree, that Koffice install-binaries page is out of date. KOffice for
RH 6.2 is hard to find in binaries for following reasons:
KDE 2.1 will not include KOffice and 2.0 and 2.01 are packed for RH 7.0
only.

You should try to install KDE 2.01 for mandrake - they propably work.
Unfortunately
they do claim requiring a lot Mandrake related stuff like Menu stuff etc.

They can be found on Mandrake mirrors, I use Sunet personally.

Good luck!

P.S. If you've never installed KOffice before, you should read some old
messages
about this in archives http://lists.kde.org.
In short, install qt, kdesupport, kdelibs and then koffice. Otherwise it
would'nt
work.
