It means you don't have 11Mb free on your root partition.
Type,
$ df -h
to see what you have where.
Re: /dev/shm on RH 7.3, the relevant part of `mount` says
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
probably similar to yours. (Was surprised when the installer asked a
bigger
swapfile, I already had allocated a generous swap partition). But I don't
think this is your problem. Open Office wants a permanent place to install
itself.
Type,
$ rpm -qilp OpenOffice-suite-1.0-3.i386.rpm
you'll see where it wants to plant itself. If it's /opt, then create a
symlink
$ln -s /home/on/the/range /opt

I have an hda4 which is extended and on that file I have an hda6, an
ext3 which has 72,779M. How do I access that part of the drive?
