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?
