If RSI's not currently using the cluster, you should be able to just
reboot the computer, remove the CD when it shuts down, and have it restart
into Windows.
OpenOffice isn't installed on the live CDs (and in particular on RSI's
custom live CDs, which have just the software the program needs) to save
space for other packages; it's installed on all machines that are supposed
to be public Debathena workstations.
